Etymology: Oligosarcus: Greek, oligos = small + Greek arkos = anus (Ref. 45335); jacuiensis: The species name jacuiensis is in reference to rio Jacuí in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where most of the specimens were collected. An adjective (Ref. 85166).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11. Can be diagnosed from all its known congeners, except Oligosarcus jenynsii, Oligosarcus perdido, Oligosarcus acutirostris, Oligosarcus solitarius and Oligosarcus hepsetus, by the number of perforated lateral line scales (55-65). Shares with the first two species the absence of a premaxillary foramen, present in the last three species and differs from Oligosarcus jenynsii by having a smaller orbital diameter and the tip of the pectoral fin failing to reach the pelvic-fin origin, and from Oligosarcus perdido by the presence of more horizontal scale rows around the caudal peduncle.

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=0.00933 (0.00418 - 0.02084), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
