Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 21 - 28; Vertebrae: 34 - 36. Has 33-34 (usually 35-38) lateral line scales; 16-20 circumpeduncular scales; 21-28 branched dorsal rays; caudal and dorsal fins dusky, without well-defined color patterns (Ref. 27732). Body with evenly pronounced longitudinal stripes formed by a spot on each scale (Ref. 7424).

Known from midwater to bottom depths in rivers and streams (Ref. 12693). Enters flooded fields (Ref. 12975). Found in the basin-wide tributary of the lower Mekong (Ref. 36667). Feeds on phytoplankton, periphyton, benthic algae, zooplankton (Ref. 12693), detritus and insect larvae (Ref. 56749).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00451 - 0.02020), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.3 ±0.19 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): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
