Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m 23.8, range 23 - 25 cm
Max length : 48.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 7248); poids max. publié: 2.9 kg (Ref. 5693); âge max. reporté: 7 années (Ref. 7248)

Prefers deep main river channels and floodplain lagoons (Ref. 7248) with sandy bottoms (Ref. 7248, 52307). Feeds primarily on snails, bivalves and insect larvae (Ref. 7248, 52307), rarely also on fish or plants (Ref. 52307). Ovophilic (Ref. 52307), female mouthbrooder (Ref. 7248, 52307), breeds in early summer (Ref. 7248). Up to 700 eggs may be laid per female and per brood; males construct shallow, rounded pits approximately 20-30 cm in diameter, preferably in regions containing vegetation (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.00877 - 0.04141), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.52 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 1.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tm=1-3; tmax=6.5; Fec=300).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
