Max length : 3.4 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 46238)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 16 - 17; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-11; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 27 - 29. Possesses a prominent dark blotch posterodorsally on opercle and two rows of irregular blackish blotches along side. Differs from B. assamensis by longer jaw, upper jaw 12-13.6 SL); lower jaw 16.3-18.5%SL, having fewer scales in lateral row, more gill rakers, and fewer vertebrae (Ref. 46238).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00176 - 0.01137), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), 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
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming Fec<100).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
