Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Blunt and truncate snout; last simple dorsal ray denticulated behind; adipose eyelid (Ref. 43281).

Found mainly in rivers and enters flooded fields (Ref. 12975). Juveniles occur in October in the lower Mekong basin (Ref. 12975).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00626 - 0.01674), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.4 ±0.21 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100).
