Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 16 - 18; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7-8; Anal spines: 4-6; Anal soft rays: 5 - 7; Vertebrae: 32 - 33. Diagnosis: Lamprologus markerti is readily distinguished from L. tigripictilis by the presence of 4-6 broad dark bars on the flanks vs. 7-10 narrow bars, and from L. werneri in the possession of 14 vs. 15 precaudal vertebrae (Ref. 97099). It differs from both L. tigripictilis and L. werneri in a reduced number of gill rakers on the first arch, 9-10 vs. 12-17; a longer head, 32.1-34.7% of standard length vs. 29.3-31.9 and 29.1-32.9% respectively; and a longer predorsal length, 33.0-35.9% of standard length vs. 29.3-32.7 and 28.5-32.6% respectively (Ref. 97099). Further, L. markerti lacks an intestinal loop present in both L. tigripictilis and L. werneri, and has a highly reduced infraorbital series often consisting only of the first infraorbital element (Ref. 97099).

This species appears to be a habitat generalist found over a range of substrates from marginal riffle and rocks near rapids, to stiller water habitats over sand and mud (Ref. 97099).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
PD₅₀ = 0.5000 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
3.9 ±0.6 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 (14 of 100)
