Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Feed on crustaceans, insects, molluscs and organic debris; in the Jebel Aulia Reservoir, annual spawning coincides with the onset of the floods; fecundity estimates ranged from 72 x 1,000 at 33 cm (4 yrs.) to over 14 x 10,000 at 74 cm (8 yrs) (Ref. 28714).
