Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 30.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in riffles and runs with boulders and gravels as substratum. Encountered only in clear unpolluted river stretches with well oxygenated waters and were not observed in pools and ditches. Adults are mostly found in association with submerged vegetation. Occurs together with other fish species of genera Salmostoma, Devario, Dawkinsia, Garra, Puntius, Systomus and Anguilla (Ref. 96472).

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=0.01096 (0.00516 - 0.02330), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.2 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).
