Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Body color dark gray on back, silvery white on lateral and belly; grayish yellow on dorsal fin, red on other fins and lower lobe of caudal fin (Ref. 45563).

Live in rivers and lakes. The fish, under 300 mm long, generally live in upper and middle layers of water and those larger generally live in middle and lower layers of water. They have the habit of semi-migration between rivers and lakes (Ref. 45563).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00301 - 0.01323), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm=4-5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
