Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 200 cm TL con đực/không giới tính; (Ref. 58490); common length : 81.7 cm TL con đực/không giới tính; (Ref. 12193); Khối lượng cực đại được công bố: 130.0 kg (Ref. 52332); Tuổi cực đại được báo cáo: 41 các năm (Ref. 32514)
Absence of scalelike scutes on belly; bases of outer barbels usually behind bases of inner barbels (Ref. 86798).
Adults inhabit large, deep, turbid river channels, usually in strong current over firm sand or gravel (Ref. 10294, 58490). They feed on aquatic insect immatures, particularly caddisfly larvae, and small fish (Ref. 10294). Threatened due to over harvesting and habitat loss (Ref. 58490). No length type given but assumed to be in TL.

50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00148 - 0.01125), b=3.16 (2.93 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Mức dinh dưỡng (Ref.
