Lifespan, longevity, and ageing

provided by AnAge articles
Maximum longevity: 3.7 years Observations: Mortality rates begin to increase after 10 months of age in females and 6 months of age in males (Patnaik et al. 1994). At lower temperatures animals live longer, up to 3.7 years.

Diagnostic Description

provided by Fishbase
Two apomorphic color patterns, body bright gray with dark gray to black stripes in males (versus light gray or no stripes; stripes narrower than interspaces) and a vertically paired black blotch on caudal peduncle of juveniles and females (versus small spots irregularly arranged, or a single round dorsally positioned spot, or no spots on caudal peduncle). Scales on longitudinal series 26-28, supraorbital neuromasts 16-19, pharyngobranchial teeth 2-5. Dorsal fin origin posterior to anal fin origin in females. Caudal fin rounded (fin rays 21-22).

Austrolebias adloffi

provided by wikipedia EN

Austrolebias adloffi is a species of fish that can be found in the Santa Catarina region in Brazil.

Austrolebias adloffi (female)

Physical description

The male is blue with a bar across the eye. 9 to 12 bars go down vertically. The fins are blue with slightly dark margins. The female looks different from the male and is brown with bars that can barely be seen.[2]

Life span

44 specimens hatched at 22 degrees Celsius had a mean life span of 11 to 11 1/2 months. Out of the 44 specimens, the maximal life span was less than 14 months. The February 1965 study concluded that annual fish live short lives and that if Cynolebias species are at 16 degrees Celsius, the fish have decreased aging.[3]

Another experiment showed that Cynolebias elongatus, Cynolebias wolterstoffi, and this species can have a longer life span if their body temperature is lowered 3 to 5 degrees. The scientists came to this result by putting different specimens in different temperatures to show a survival rate.[4]

Naming

Austrolebias adloffi was described as Cynolebias adloffi in 1922 by Ernst Ahl.[5] The specific name honours the German-born Brazilian artist Alfred Adloff, who discovered it.[6] It is the type species of the genus Austrolebias.[7]
