Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 15; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 8 - 9. Longitudinal scale count 30-31; snout length 33.4-34.6% HL; maxilla reaching below pupil; mouth slightly prognathous; longest soft rays of dorsal and anal fins reaching well beyond base of caudal; scaleless opercular spot small; scaleless caudal rim on the suboperculum; scales on interoperculum in a single row; postorbital scale column mixed; gill rakers on upper part of ceratobranchial anvil-shaped, trifid on epibranchial; one inner tooth row in the lower jaw extending nearly as far posteriorly as outer row; caudal peduncle length 14.4-15.8% SL; and outer-row teeth in lower jaw 36-44 (Ref. 52072).
Inhabits shallow inshore areas close to vegetation (Ref. 4983). Lake Victoria populations are largely omnivorous, larval insects and small crustaceans predominate in the diet (Ref. 558).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00674 - 0.03099), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
