Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 18; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 23. Diagnosis: The body of Heteromormyrus pauciradiatus is shorter and deeper and the head is deeper than in other Heteromormyrus species; body depth 25-31% of standard length, head depth 84-97% of head length; predorsal distance is 66-70% of standard length, more than in other Heteromormyrus species; the caudal peduncle is deeper than in other Heteromormyrus species, caudal peduncle depth 46-55% of caudal peduncle length; the eye is small, 12-15% of head length (Ref. 128501 ).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00251 - 0.01261), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
