Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 16; Anal soft rays: 12 - 13; Vertebrae: 56 - 58. Diagnosis: distinguished from all other Salmo species and archaic trouts by the combination of contrasting black and white leading edges on dorsal and anal fins and the absence of dark spots on the sides of the body; high number of dorsal fin pterygiophores (14-16): high number of gill rakers (19-23); large unpaired fins (Ref. 55619).

Feeds on Cyclops, terrestrial arthropods, filamentous algae and diatoms (Ref. 55619).

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=0.01047 (0.00477 - 0.02296), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.30 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
