Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 34 - 36. This species is distinguished by the following characters barbels absent: pharyngeal teeth 0,0,4-4,0,0; lateral line incomplete; longitudinal scales 41-46; transverse scales 16-18; no white spots on dorsal-fin rays; juveniles without a black blotch on dorsal fin; larvae with less developed wing-like yolk sac projections (Ref. 123652).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Collected from a slow-flowing stream at an altitude of 625 meters, the substrate consisted of mud mixed with gravel. Taken with other species Rhodeus ocellatus, Hemiculter leucisculus and Pseudorasbora parva (Ref. 123652).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00465 - 0.02254), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.3   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
