Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Jaws increasing in length throughout life, extending far beyond posterior margin of eye in large specimens; small juveniles with slightly oblique bars on body and anal fin; larger juveniles and adults with plain body, overall silvery to bronze in life (Ref. 43281).
Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Inhabits mainstreams and forest streams (Ref. 58784). Feeds on fishes, probably has a crepuscular or nocturnal activity pattern (Ref. 12693). Other food of this species includes insects and small vertebrates (Ref. 58784).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5166 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00239 - 0.00836), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 61.8 [20.0, 209.0] mg/100g; Iron = 1.36 [0.48, 4.20] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.4, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.284 [0.113, 0.726] g/100g; Selenium = 102 [35, 244] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50.1 [10.2, 265.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.695 [0.362, 1.536] mg/100g (wet weight);
