Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 47 - 50; Radios blandos anales: 29 - 33; Vértebra: 55. Channa pseudomarulius is distinguished from C. marulius by having fewer lateral line scales (59-61 vs. 63-65), fewer dorsal-fin rays (47-50 vs. 52-56) and anal-fin rays (29-33 vs. 33-37) and fewer vertebrae (55 vs 59-63), and by a shorter body/longer head especially in specimens over 20.0 cm SL (Ref. 116423).
