Etymology: Lutjanus: Malay, ikan lutjan, name of a fish.
Eponymy: Max Wilhelm Carl Weber van Bosse (1852–1937). (See Weber, M) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; brackish; demersal; depth range 3 - 4 m (Ref. 90102). Tropical; 28°N - 14°S, 116°E - 155°E (Ref. 55)
Asia and Oceania: Philippines, Indonesia (Sulawesi) and New Guinea. This species appears to be valid, but final judgment is reserved until adults and intermediate forms are available for examination (Ref. 469).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2847)
Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8. Dorsal profile of head steeply sloped. Preorbital bone narrow, its width slightly less than eye diameter. Preopercular notch and knob poorly developed. Scale rows on back parallel to lateral line. Live colors unknown. Older specimens becoming overall brownish except whitish on ventral surface (Ref. 469). Body depth 2.2-2.7 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Apparently restricted to freshwater streams and brackish waters, although adults are unknown (Ref. 55). Also found in mangrove lined inlets (Ref. 90102).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00706 - 0.03101), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 242 [124, 561] mg/100g; Iron = 0.863 [0.457, 1.738] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.22 [0.11, 0.43] g/100g; Selenium = 40.5 [19.3, 89.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 61.4 [10.7, 280.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.79 [0.51, 1.27] mg/100g (wet weight);
