Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Inhabits clear, swift, moderate to large high gradient streams. Occurs in swift shallow riffles with gravel, cobble or large stone substrate, but can occasionally be found in shallower pools (Ref. 57745).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00336 - 0.03120), b=3.06 (2.81 - 3.31), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100) .
