Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 36. Rasbora wilpita is distinguished from all congeners from peninsular India and Sri Lana by the combination of the following characters: a prominent symphysial knob on lower jaw; a -conspicuous maxillary lateral process; head depth 54-62% HL; and body depth 24.7-29.3% SL (Ref. 84057).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00364 - 0.01988), 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):  3.2   ±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.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100) .
