Etymology: Nandus: 'Nandus' is a Bengali local name, but it lacks a proper reference; ‘nanda’ is a Bengali fish name but probably for a different species (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5098   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00899 - 0.01535), b=3.03 (2.95 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.63 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 367 [141, 931] mg/100g; Iron = 1.06 [0.51, 2.27] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [15.2, 18.1] %; Omega3 = 0.321 [0.178, 0.566] g/100g; Selenium = 43.8 [14.9, 125.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42 [11, 157] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.69 [1.08, 2.64] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
