Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 9; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 12; Vertebre: 35 - 37. Body very deep, averaging slightly less deep than N. merlini. Nuptial males with broad, lateral, bluish gray band; anterior rays of dorsal fin extend beyond posterior rays when depressed; when fresh; interadial membranes of dorsal fin almost entirely darkened with black pigment except for the orange along the base of the fin and bright yellow green on distal tips of anterior rays; caudal fins bright orange; anal fin membranes darkened with melanophores and overlaying wash of dull orange (Ref. 40813).
Inhabits clay, sand and bedrock pools of headwaters, creeks and small rivers. Usually found among vegetation and debris (Ref. 86798).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00376 - 0.01926), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
