Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Lateral line tubes simple; maxillary barbel branched (fimbriate); body coloration plain (Ref. 12693).

Inhabits rivers over muddy substrate as well as forest streams (Ref. 56749). Occur near the bottom of large rivers. Typically found in the middle Mekong during the dry season and moves into flooded forest during high water periods. Little is known about its biology. Not seen in markets (Ref. 12693, 57235).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00548 - 0.02519), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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