Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) > Characiformes (Characins) > Characidae (Characins) > Stevardiinae
Etymology: Attonitus: Latin, attonitus = thunderstruck, stunned. More on author: Vari.

Environment / Climate / Range Ecology

Freshwater; pelagic. Tropical

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.7 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 38376)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-10; Anal soft rays: 11 - 18. The absence of a distinct, anteriorly-expanded, dark stripe on the ventral portions of the body immediately dorsal of the anterior branched anal-fin rays distinguishes Attonitus bounites from Attonitus irisae and Attonitus ephimeros (Ref 53400).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00888 (-0.21703 - 0.23479), b=3.24241 (3.12004 - 3.36478), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±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 (10 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
