Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Has 9 branched dorsal-fin rays; presence of black lateral stripe (Ref. 12693); smooth and non-osseous last simple dorsal ray; large patch of tubercles on side of snout and below eye; post-labial groove interrupted medially; color in life bronze back and silvery belly (Ref. 43281).

Adults inhabit clear forested streams and rivers (Ref. 12693). They occur in swift flowing streams (Ref. 43281). Disappear when human activities degrade aquatic habitats, as seen in other members of the genus (Ref. 12693). Are predators primarily, but also feed on some types of plant matter, particularly fruits (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00510 - 0.01788), b=3.01 (2.85 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (49 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
