Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Second anal spine conspicuously enlarged (Ref. 43281).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in main rivers and lakes (Ref. 56749). Occurs in sluggish rivers and floodplains. Grows to a fairly large size and is probably the most common species of this family, seen in the markets. Feeds on insects, crustaceans, and small fish (Ref. 12693). Used as feeds for caged fishes (Ref. 56749).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00651 - 0.03363), b=2.98 (2.78 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.58 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 341 [216, 660] mg/100g; Iron = 1.84 [1.14, 2.91] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.6, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.269 [0.107, 0.726] g/100g; Selenium = 51 [17, 160] μg/100g; VitaminA = 66 [27, 152] μg/100g; Zinc = 2 [1, 3] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
