Etymology: Clarias: Greek, chlaros = lively, in reference to the ability of the fish to live for a long time out of water.
Eponymy: Dr Maxime Georges Lamotte (1920–2007) was a French biologist and geneticist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 53 - 58; Rayons mous anaux: 51 - 52; Vertèbres: 56. Characterized by a relatively short vomerine tooth plates (3.6-3.9 % HL) and by its relatively long adipose fin (12.7-15.9 % SL) - the longest in Clarias and therefore, is a specific character for C. lamottei. Head is oval-shaped in dorsal outline. Frontal fontanelle long and narrow (`knife-shaped'); occipital fontanelle long and oval-shaped. Suprabranchial organ consists of well developed arborescent structures.

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); The type locality is situated in a savannah area, in a swamp which completely dries up every year (Ref. 248).

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=0.00794 (0.00357 - 0.01766), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
