Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Otocinclus juruenae is distinguished from all congeners, except O. cocama, by having a complete lateral line, without gap plates. It differs from O. bororo, O. caxarari, O. hoppei, O. huaorani, O. macrospilus, O. mariae, O. mura, O. vestitus, and O. vittatus (previously assigned by Schaefer, 1997 to the 'orbis clade') as well as O. batmani and O. cocama by the presence of iris operculum (vs. absence). It can be further diagnosed from all its congeners, with the exception of O. flexilis and O. xakriaba, by the coloration of the lateral trunk consisting of a series of three to four diffuse pigment blotches without a distinct midlateral stripe (vs. trunk with distinct midlateral stripe) (Ref. 110382).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274)

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=0.00759 (0.00337 - 0.01709), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
