Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 34. Garra cornigera is distinguished from other species of Garra in the Chindwin-Irrawaddy drainage, except G. bispinosa, in having a bilobed proboscis (vs. unilobed in G. litanensis, G. rotundinasus and G. qiaojiensis; or incipient in G. elongata and G. gravelyi). It differs from G. bispinosa in having fewer lateral line scales (33 vs. 34-35), fewer circumpeduncular scales (14 vs. 16), fewer transverse scale rows above and more below lateral line scales (3 1/2 vs. 4 and 3 1/2 vs. 2 1/2-3) (Ref. 117240).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in medium to fast flowing clear hill stream with gravel bottom and lush green algal bloom (Ref. 117240).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00331 - 0.01740), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
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).
