Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 150 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 93003); max. published weight: 30.0 kg (Ref. 93003); max. reported age: 17 years (Ref. 93003)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-13; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 7 - 10. Diagnosis: Arabibarbus grypus has 33-44 scales in the lateral line (Ref. 96964). The round head is shorter, 19.9-25.4% of standard length, and lower, 12.6-16.0% of standard length, than in its congeners (Ref. 96964). The body is cylindrical; the dorsal fin is short, 17.8-24.2% of standard length, and only weakly ossified; the pectoral fins, 16.0-19.3% of standard length, and pelvic fins, 14.3-17.5% of standard length, are shorter than in Arabibarbus hadhrami (Ref. 96964).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in small to large rivers (Ref. 96964). It can attain sizes of up to 2 m and a mass of 100 kg (Ref. 96964).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00358 - 0.00769), b=3.12 (3.01 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 11.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 64.1 [33.1, 107.2] mg/100g; Iron = 1.21 [0.73, 1.95] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.468 [0.336, 0.662] g/100g; Selenium = 49.8 [18.9, 120.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.5 [5.4, 41.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.809 [0.564, 1.178] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
