Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is characterized by the following: length of rostral barbels 4.0-5.1% HL; lateral line scales 50-60; circumpeduncular scales 22-27; scales from the lateral line to the anal-fin origin 61/2-71/2 (Ref. 118635).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits relatively still waters and occurs in deep pools in larger rivers and in most low-country reservoirs. Feeds mainly on algae. Breeding in rivers is highly influenced by monsoon rains (Ref. 43628).

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=0.00955 (0.00434 - 0.02104), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.7; Fec=66,420-239,854).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 158 [44, 275] mg/100g; Iron = 0.866 [0.514, 1.565] mg/100g; Protein = 16.3 [15.4, 17.2] %; Omega3 = 0.397 [0.153, 1.086] g/100g; Selenium = 325 [123, 908] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.6 [6.9, 51.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [0.85, 3.16] mg/100g (wet weight);
