Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 72 - 80; Anal soft rays: 56 - 64; Vertebrae: 62 - 64. Distinguished from Southeast Asian congeners, except Clarias batrachus and C. insolitus in having a narrow frontal fontanel. Differs from C. batrachus in possessing more anal-fin rays (56-64 vs. 47-58) and a broader snout and from C. insolitus in having a wider head (17.4-18.3% SL vs. 14.0-15.6) and a smaller distance between the occipital process and the dorsal fin (7.2-7.5% SL vs. 10.3-12.4) (Ref. 55369).

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=0.00776 (0.00343 - 0.01757), b=2.97 (2.79 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 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 (15 of 100).
