Africa: Lake Tanganyika (Ref. 2216, 36901); widely distributed throughout the lake (Ref. 36901). In the Lukuga River (Lake Tanganyika outflow), known up to Niemba (Ref. 93587). In the Malagarazi River, known from the delta and the lower reaches (Ref. 54847).

Length at first maturity / Size / Vikt / Age

Maturity: L_m 45.5 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 80.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 3636)

Juveniles live in a specific inshore habitat until they reach 18 cm, thereafter they adopt a benthic habitat moving into deep water (Ref. 2216). Juveniles have been observed near or in affluent rivers (Ref. 36901). Top predator in depths below 100 m; exploits both fishes and invertebrates; migrate diurnally to surface to feed on pelagic clupeids; highly susceptible to intensive fishing (Ref. 2216).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5006 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00582 - 0.01719), b=2.99 (2.84 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.69 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (tmax=12-13).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 167 [35, 355] mg/100g; Iron = 1.61 [0.79, 3.86] mg/100g; Protein = 19.5 [18.1, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.425 [0.174, 1.059] g/100g; Selenium = 178 [46, 512] μg/100g; VitaminA = 36.4 [8.4, 166.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.01 [0.43, 2.21] mg/100g (wet weight);
