Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 4 - 5; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 12-16; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 20 - 24. Differs from other species of the genus Melanotaenia in the Bomberai Peninsula and Bird’s Neck region by the combination of the following characters: dorsal rays IV to V-I,12 to 16; anal rays I,20-24; lateral scales 34-37; transverse scales 10-11; predorsal scales 16-18; cheek scales 14-20; gillrakers 17-18; a short snout length, 8.3-9.1% of SL; a thin interorbital width, 8.3-9.0% of SL; a small eye diameter, 6.6-7.2% of SL; a thin body width, 11.0-13.0% of SL; a short and thin caudal peduncle (its length, 14.1-16.1 and depth, 10.0-10.8% of SL); a moderately long predorsal length, 36.8-39.7% of SL; a long preanal length, 49.7-52.9% of SL (Ref. 91054).

The type locality, Jasu Creek in Egerwara village, is a stream characterized by less than 5 m width. Habitats in the vicinity of the type locality include shallow and slow flowing water over sandy substrate in secondary forest and cocoa plantations (Ref. 91054).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
