Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9; Vertebrae: 26. Males dark brown to greyish brown, females lighter with narrow bars and mottling on body (Ref. 43716). Head somewhat compressed, profile pointed; TRB 13-17; predorsal scales 17-25, small, and extending forward almost to behind eyes; sensory papillae on head occasionally forming multiple rows on cheeks (Ref. 43716). Caudal fin truncate to rounded posteriorly (Ref. 43716).

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Found only in Lake Poso, on silty sand shallows, on mud and gravel substrate, with some aquatic plants present, and also on banks of steep gravel and large limestone rocks (Ref. 43716). Feeds on small fishes and insect larvae (Ref. 43716).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm>1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
