Lengte bij maturiteit / Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd

Maturity: L_m ?, range 24 - ? cm
Max length : 108 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 40637); common length : 70.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 9987); max. gepubliceerd gewicht: 40.0 kg (Ref. 72380)

This species is usually solitary. Adults stay in flooded forests during first 5 months of flooding and consume but fruits and grains. Young and juveniles live in black waters of flood plains until their sexual maturity. Feeds on zooplankton, insects, snails and decaying plants (Ref. 32894). Used in aquaculture because it can live in mineral poor waters and is very resistant to diseases. Marketed fresh and frozen (Ref. 9987).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.01185 - 0.04230), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (K=0.23; Fec=7,000-300,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
