Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 15. Belly rounded, with 5 sharp needle-like pre-pelvic scutes. Maxilla tip pointed, projecting beyond second supra-maxilla and not quite reaching to sub-operculum. Isthmus short, preceded by a small bony plate on urohyal between branchial membranes. Anal fin short. No other species has so few gill rakers; otherwise it most closely resembles E. devisi.

Presumably schooling, although the three type (and only known) specimens were caught after 20 months of sampling. Evidently rare.

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
PD₅₀ = 0.5312 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
3.2 ±0.1 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278)
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)

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