Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Can be distinguished from all other described species of Rivulus in having elongated pectoral fins reaching to base of pelvic fins in both sexes, and in the combination of: dorsal and anal fin extending to or beyond base of caudal fin in both sexes, similar development of the rivulus spot in both sexes, elongated pelvic fins reaching beyond anal-fin origin in both sexes, and low number of scales in lateral series (26-29) (Ref. 26619).

Inhabits small forest pools (Ref. 26619). Bottom spawner, 4 months incubation (Ref. 27139).

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=0.00977 (0.00315 - 0.03034), b=3.03 (2.77 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±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. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
