Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 5; Anal soft rays: 10 - 11; Vertebrae: 32 - 34. A member of the Akysis variegatus group which differs from its congeners in possessing a short adipose-fin base (13.0-15.4% SL), a steeply-sloping predorsal profile and a unique combination of the following characters: pectoral spine length 16.1-17.4% SL, body depth at anus 15.7-17.0% SL, eye diameter 9-10% HL, anterior nostrils separated by more than half of interorbital distance, serrations on posterior edge of pectoral spine, and emarginate caudal fin (Ref. 56231).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
