Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 4; Raggi anali molli: 65; Vertebre: 54. This species is diagnosed from all congeners in the Indian subcontinent by the absence (vs. presence) of a process on the posteromedial edge of the coracoid, having a markedly convex predorsal profile (vs. with a slight or distinct concavity in the supraethmoidal or supraoccipital region), and a unique combination of the following characters: prognathous lower jaw causing snout to appear rounded when viewed laterally; maxillary barbel reaching to base of pectoral-fin spine; eye diameter 13.7% HL; head width 13.0% SL; body depth at anus 14.2% SL; 65 anal-fin rays; caudal peduncle depth 5.0% SL; caudal-fin length 12.6% SL; caudal fin with rounded lobes; 54 vertebrae, and dark midlateral stripe running along sides of body (Ref. 93963).

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=0.00562 (0.00279 - 0.01132), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
