Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Differs from its congeners in rio Ribeira de Iguape basin by having a well defined large, dark, and roundish spots somewhat homogeneously distributed over body and fins, and by having relatively broad dorsal fin, interradial membranes apparently wider than in examined congeners from coastal Brazilian drainages (Ref. 54480).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274)

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00733 - 0.03589), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
