Etymology: Poropuntius: Greek, poros = porous + Greek, punctum = marked with points (Ref. 45335); heterolepidotus: The name heterolepidotus is from the Greek heteros, different, and lepidotus, scaly or scaled, in reference to the abrupt change in scale sice on the body (Ref. 35912).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 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).
