Length at first maturity / 大小 / 重量 / 年齡
Maturity: Lm 39.8 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 105 cm FL 雄魚/尚未辨別雌雄; (Ref. 40637); 74.0 cm FL (female); 最大體重: 28.0 kg (Ref. 40637); 最大年齡: 8 年 (Ref. 2754)
背棘 (總數) : 0; 背的軟條 (總數) : 10; 臀棘: 0; 臀鰭軟條: 15. Diagnosis: large fang-like teeth overlapping the jaws when the mouth is closed; gill-rakers long, about equal to the length of gill filaments; body generally > 22% of SL (Ref. 28714). 43-53 scales in lateral line; 2 scale rows between lateral line and scaly process at pelvic-fin bases; eye < 70% of interorbital space (Ref. 2880, 81279). Dorsal-fin origin at about same level as pelvic-fin insertions (Ref. 2880, 80290, 81279). Gill rakers few (5-9/9-12) but rather long (Ref. 2880, 80290, 81279), about equal to the length of gill filaments (Ref. 28714). Tips of adipose and dorsal fins black; forked edge of caudal fin black (Ref. 2880, 80290, 81279). Dark caudal fin coloration may also extend unto median caudal rays, forming crescent-shaped blotch (Ref. 80290, 81279). Dark longitudinal streaks present above the lateral line (Ref. 28714).
身體輪廓比較不細長超過 H. forskalii. 眼 <70% 的眼間隔。 長的鰓耙。 脂鰭與背鰭黑色的頂端。 尾鰭黑色的分叉邊緣。
Prefers warm, well-oxygenated water, mainly larger rivers and lakes; all but the largest form roving schools of like-sized fish; aptly described as fierce and voracious; diet increasingly piscivorous, becoming exclusive fish feeders when above 90-100 mm length; feeds on whatever prey is most abundant but Brycinus, Micralestes, Barbus, and Limnothrissa are favored (Ref. 7248, 52193). Piscivorous, but may also eat Caridina and insects (Ref. 28714). Useful food fish in some areas (Ref. 4967).
偏愛溫暖的,溶氧量高的水, 主要比較大的河川與湖泊。 所有的除了最大的形式之外游動魚群相似的-大小了魚; 適當地描述為凶猛而狼吞虎嚥的。 吃任何的獵物是最豐富的但是 Brycinus ， Micralestes ， Barbus 與 Limnothrissa 被偏愛.(參考文獻 7248) 在一些地區的有用食用魚.(參考文獻 4967)
