Etymology: Enteromius: Greek, enteron = intestine + Greek, myo, mys = muscle (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Pellegrin.
Issue
Probably a synonym of Enteromius mattozi (Ref. 120641).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical
Africa: only known from the type locality (Ref. 2801). Likely taken from the Caculovar River, a tributary of the Cunene in Angola, and not from the Lomba (neither the Zambezi as Pellegrin 1921 claimed, nor the Longa coastal Atlantic as suggested by Ref. 11970)(Ref. 120641).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.4 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2801)

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): 3.0 ±0.3 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).
