Etymology: Blachea: Named for J. Blanche, in recognition of his many contributions to the knowledge on anguilliform fishes, both adults and larvae; longicaudalis: Named for its highly elongated caudal section, typical of the species.
Eponymy: Jacques Blache (1922–1994) was a French ichthyologist who worked for the Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique d’Outre-Mer (ORSTOM) in Kampuchea (1948–1953) and in various African countries including Chad, Congo and Senegal (1953–1973). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00062 (0.00028 - 0.00135), b=3.19 (3.01 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100). 🛈 |
