Etymology: Gymnotus: Greek, gymnos = naked (Ref. 45335 ) ;   mamiraua: Named for the Mamirauá lake system and the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve (formerly the Estaçao Ecológica Mamirauá). Noun in apposition. .

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; demersal; pH range: 6.9 - 7.3. Subtropical

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

South America: two whitewater lake systems on the Rio Solimões floodplain of central Amazonia (the Mamirauá lake system near Tefé, and Lago Janauacá near Manaus), Amazonas State, Brazil (Ref. 41292 ).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 24.3 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 41292 ); max. published weight: 40.00 g (Ref. 41292 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Deep body (body depth 11-13% TL versus 6-10) possessing very thin pale bands (less than 1/5 the width of the dark bands) with sharp (high contrast) margins. Bands are sinuous on the anterior half of the body, and extend clearly to the dorsal midline (Ref. 41292 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274 ); Oviparous (Ref. 205 ). Males provide parental care in nests excavated for larvae (Ref. 55570 ).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Parental care is provided by the male. Nests consisted of a group of small juveniles under a dense roots of floating macrophytes which are attended by a single male adult (Ref. 55570 ).

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=0.00437 (0.00209 - 0.00911), b=2.98 (2.79 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.3   ±0.47 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
