Etymology: Milyeringa:From an Australian western region, Milyering (Ref. 45335). More on author: Whitley.
Oceania: Australia, subterranean waters below the narrow coastal plain between North West Cape and Yardie Creek; Five Mile, Homestead, Kudmurra, Milyering (Mangrove), New Yardie, Pilgramuna and Tantabiddi Wells. Threatened (Ref. 35759).
サイズ / 重さ / 年齢
成熟: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 5.0 cm SL オス/雌雄の選別がない; (Ref. 44894)
背面の脊椎 (合計) : 0; 背鰭 (合計) : 13; 肛門の骨: 0; 臀鰭: 9. Head large, broad and depressed. Eyes not visible. Mouth large, horseshoe-shaped. Cardiform teeth. Rows of well developed sensory papillae on head and trunk. Scales are reduced and entirely absent from the head. Whitish coloration in the skin. Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Lives beneath coastal limestone in perpetually dark, slightly brackish subterranean water (Ref. 44894). Cave-dweller, lacking eyes and skin pigmentation, with well developed system of sensory papillae on the head. Found swimming slowly or suspended near the surface of wells and sinkholes, particularly at night. This is possibly due to the occurrence of food items, e.g., algae, small insects or invertebrates, on the water surface. May also feed on detritus concentrated at the bottom of such openings. May tolerate temperatures to 30°C; salinity 0.2-34 ppt. Co-occurs with the blind eel.
系統多様性指数 (参照 82804): PD50 = 0.6406 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
栄養段階 (参照 69278): 3.0 ±0.35 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
