Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 22; Raggi anali molli: 36; Vertebre: 67. Two contiguous terminal bulbs. Barbel 49-57% SL. Terminal filament short, without branches, 2-5% SL. Distal bulb 0.8-1.3 times length of proximal bulb. Axis of stem unpigmented in the small specimens pigmented in proximal 2/3 in the large one. Patchy external pigment in the distal 1/3 of the large specimen. Axis of filament unpigmented. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas on stem unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 7 or 8 (Ref. 11333).

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=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
