Etymology: Haplochromis: Greek, Haploos = single + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Louis César Henri Ėmile Sauvage (1842–1917) was a French palaeontologist, herpetologist and ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Inhabits the littoral zone where the bottom is hard; especially common over exposed sandy beaches (Ref. 4983). Feeds mainly on gastropods, bottom deposits, which include insect larvae, copepods and diatoms, and Insecta (chiefly larval boring may-flies, Povilla adusta) (Ref. 558).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.28 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
