Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.2 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 57709)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 7 - 9. Diagnosis: Distinguished from other cyprinids except Notropis buccatus by having a modified infraorbital and preoperculomandibular canals. It differs from N. buccatus by possessing longer gill rakers (length to width average 2.2, 4.8-2.5 vs. 1.0, 0.8-1.4), absence of breast squamation (vs. with scales), and possessing 5 infraorbital ossicles (vs. 4) (Ref. 57709).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The species occurs in small schools, often in clear, shallow (up to 50 cm) streams in slow to moderate runs; prefers sandy to sand mixed with gravel substrates (Ref. 57709).

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=0.00851 (0.00376 - 0.01926), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±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).
