|Assessor/s:||Reis, R & Lima, F.| |Reviewer/s:||Collen, B.,
Darwall, W., Ram, M. & Smith, K. (SRLI Freshwater Fish
Evaluation Workshop)| Assessed as Vulnerable due to an inferred
population reduction of greater than 30% over the last 10 years,
based on a decline in habitat quality, fisheries catches and
forest cover. In addition, there are reports of some populations
being close to extinction. There is no evidence that the threats
which B. orthotaenia faces will cease in the near future, and
therefore it is suspected that population declines will
continue. |Range Description:||This species is known from the
