Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8. With 60-65 predorsal scales; without ocellus on caudal peduncle (Ref. 43281).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in rivers, swamps, reservoirs and canals. Enters flooded forest (Ref. 9497). Feeds on small fishes, shrimps, aquatic insects, mollusks and crabs (Ref. 6459). Considered a delicacy over much of eastern Asia. Exported fishes command a high price (Ref. 12693). Maybe the largest species of the goby-like fishes.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00512 - 0.01625), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.67 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec = 10,000).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (61 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 56 [17, 253] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.453 [0.178, 1.630] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.6 [15.6, 19.6] % ; Omega3 = 0.491 [0.255, 0.933] g/100g ; Selenium = 69.5 [32.3, 142.6] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 36.2 [7.9, 171.5] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.17 [0.75, 1.93] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
