Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Two terminal bulbs separated by a short interspace, 0.6-1.7 times length of distal bulb. Barbel length 58-70% SL in specimens larger than 9 cm. Terminal filament 10-23% SL, except in some small specimens, with 2-3 (often 2) prominent branches arising closely together at 1-5 distal-bulb lengths, from the distal bulb in specimens to 11.4 cm SL (at 10 bulb lengths in a 20 cm specimen). Stem of filament proximal to major branches with widely-spaced tiny bulblets and without short basal branches; all long branches with very small widely-spaced bulblets (bulblets larger and more conspicuous in a 20 cm specimen). Barbel without melanophores (rarely very sparse pigment on axis of stem or filament). Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin probably 8, often diffuse or obscure (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.8 - 17.7, mean 10.1 °C (based on 219 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
