Etymology: Garra: Name based on a vernacular Indian name (Hamilton, 1822:343, Ref. 1813); a fish living in mud (Ref. 128817);  rotundinasus: Derived from the Latin rotundus (round) and nasus (snout), in allusion to having a broadly rounded snout..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 12; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 35 - 37. Distinguished from all other Southeast Asian and Chinese congeners, except Garra gravelyi by having a snout with a poorly developed proboscis that is represented by a truncate area in front of the nostrils. Differs from Garra gravelyi by possessing 36-37 perforated lateral line scales, 2 1/2 scales above the lateral line, 10-11 predorsal scales, a broadly rounded snout, and absence of black spots at the base of the branched dorsal-fin rays. Has a color pattern consisting of an indistinct mid-lateral band with a few incomplete narrow longitudinal stripes above and below the mid-lateral band, more distinct on the caudal peduncle; and a black spot at the dorsal of the gill opening (Ref. 57645).

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=0.00759 (0.00331 - 0.01740), b=3.05 (2.88 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
