Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; pelagic.   Tropical; 18°N - 4°S

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Asia: Indonesia (southern Sumatra at Lahat, upper reaches of eastward flowing Musi system) and Thailand (at Ayudhya). Probably in other rivers, but the Kapuas records seem to refer to Clupeichthys bleekeri.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12 - 18; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 16 - 27. Body moderately elongate, belly keeled, with 9 or 10 + 7 or 8 scutes. Snout blunt, pre-maxillae small and toothed, prominent teeth at symphysis and along sides of lower jaw; second supra-maxilla spatulate, about half length of maxilla blade.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in large lakes or rivers (Ref. 12693). Found in the basin-wide mainstream of the lower Mekong (Ref. 36667). Feeds on planktonic crustaceans (Ref. 33813). Used to produce prahoc and tuk trey (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=0.00851 (0.00390 - 0.01858), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.30 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 (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
