Kurzbeschreibung Morphologie | Morphometrie

Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 165 - 205. Brachyhypopomus regani is distinguished from other species of the genus Brachyhypopomus by the following combination of characters: presence of accessory electric organ over opercular region (vs. absence in all congeners except B. bombilla and B. menezesi); dorsal surface with large dark blotches against a lighter background (vs. dorsal surface speckled with small brown chromatophores on a pale background in B. bombilla); and caudal filament length 11.1-17.9% of length to end of anal fin (vs. 24.-33.3% in B. menezesi) (Ref. 116763).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs only in high-conductivity whitewater floodplains in floating rafts of macrophytes and leaf litter of newly-inundated forest. Feeds on aquatic insect larvae, microcrustacea, and other small aquatic invertebrates with a predominance of Chironomidae larvae. Spawns in floating macrophytes during the rising and high water period (Ref. 116763).

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=0.00380 (0.00145 - 0.00994), b=3.06 (2.83 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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