Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 12 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 11-14; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. This species differs from its congeners by its pale bluish-white body color in life (vs. mottled brown); differs from Nandus nandus, the only South Asian congener, in having body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 28.2-34.3); pelvic fin length 16.2-18.9% SL (vs. 18.0-21.2); from Nandus nebulosus, Nandus oxyrhynchus and Nandus prolixus by the presence (vs. absence) of dark spot on the caudal peduncle, by having lateral line scales 45-52 (vs. 24-37) and body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 30.7-44.1) (Ref. 75197).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00489 - 0.02694), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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