Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 8. Anal fin with 5 branched rays; no black spot on the anterior base of the dorsal fin, but the tip of the fin blackish (Ref. 27732). Gill rakers on first arch 30-33 (Ref. 37829). Silvery color (Ref. 37768).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in large upland rivers, usually near the bottom of the channel over sand substrate (Ref. 12693). Enters flooded fields (Ref. 12975). Frequently overlooked and rarely recorded due to its rather nondescript appearance and its occurrence along the very bottom of the river over sand substrate. Always found in flowing water and little is known about the migratory habitats of this species. All specimens examined had mouths full of sand which is strained for detritus, diatoms, algae, worms and other organisms. Taken in large numbers by trawls and haul seines in the middle Mekong along the Thai-Lao border (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00548 - 0.02519), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.3   ±0.12 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 (12 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 266 [179, 429] mg/100g; Iron = 1.86 [1.23, 2.82] mg/100g; Protein = 17 [16, 18] %; Omega3 = 0.522 [0.225, 1.211] g/100g; Selenium = 59 [26, 132] μg/100g; VitaminA = 97.3 [43.9, 200.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.72 [1.95, 3.74] mg/100g (wet weight);
