Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 10; Vertebre: 32. Lips with transverse plicae on inner surface; dorsal fin falciform; two small pairs of barbels present, generally hidden; eyes superolateral; a big dark brown spot found on the caudal peduncle and on the squamous caudal fin. Can be distinguished from L. falcipinnis by the presence of a furrow on the snout and from L. parvus by more numerous lateral line scales (Ref. 12456).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00317 - 0.01581), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
