Found among the rocks during the day and moves around the area at night. Feeds on insects, crustaceans and other invertebrates (Ref. 5595). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Because of its bony head, this species is often not marketed in Malawi where it is relatively common and considered a favored food of fishermen. Marketed in Kyela (Ref. 4967).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01549 (0.00700 - 0.03427), b=2.88 (2.70 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.26 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 145 [69, 294] mg/100g; Iron = 1.5 [0.9, 2.6] mg/100g; Protein = 16.3 [15.1, 17.5] %; Omega3 = 0.576 [0.208, 1.638] g/100g; Selenium = 90.3 [36.5, 235.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 56.8 [20.0, 155.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.12 [1.38, 3.06] mg/100g (wet weight);
