Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: soft and flexible pre-anal fin-fold extending along the ventral body surface, from pectoral region to anus; anterior and posterior nostril openings are widely separated, anterior opening at the tip of short tube (Ref. 75046).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in a forest creek, apparently in the Ka Longo drainage (marks the border between Vietnam and China (known as Beilun He). It is a small stream in the foothills. The specimens were collected in a shallow bay (less than 40 cm deep), with slow water current and sandy bottom, adjacent to riffles (Ref. 75046).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00292 - 0.01304), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 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).
