Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Diagnosis: Lower lip with short, rounded projections lateral to the medial notch. Caudal peduncle is comparatively shallow (15.2-17.7% SL). Dorsal fin with 2 unbranched and 6 branched rays. Head depth small 19.9-21.8% SL; short first dorsal-fin ray 13.7-17.5% SL; maxillary barbels reaching lower lateral series plate 13-15 (Ref. 56211).

Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Collected in lakes or lake channels within dense marginal or floating vegetation, sometimes in hypoxic conditions (Ref. 56211).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
