Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0. Body fairly deep; 26 to 29 scutes along belly. A single triangular pectoral axillary scale; depressed tip of dorsal fin to behind vertical from anal fin origin. Hind margin of scales smooth. Dark blotch behind gill opening, often followed by a series of spots along flank. Gill rakers fine and numerous, increasing with size of fish (100 to 280 at 4 to 16 cm standard length).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in middle and upper reaches of rivers. Also occur in ponds, beels, ditches and inundated fields (Ref. 1479). Minimum depth assumed based on it being a surface feeder, maximum depth based on study site in Bangladesh (Ref. 128398). More data needed.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00765 - 0.00991), b=3.05 (3.02 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.3   ±0.14 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Fec = 10,800).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 473 [246, 934] mg/100g; Iron = 5.9 [3.3, 11.3] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.7, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.659 [0.370, 1.164] g/100g; Selenium = 24.2 [10.9, 60.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.6 [3.2, 35.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.79 [1.70, 5.13] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
