Eponymy: R Adey Moore worked at the Bangkok Times, and served for many years as the honorary secretary of the Siam Society. Smith named the catfish after him “…in slight recognition of his sustained interest in the promotion of zoological science in Thailand.” (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 0; Anal soft rays: 66 - 68. No dorsal fin; deep body (3.8-4.0 times in SL); head 5.8-6.0 times in SL; jaws equal-sized; a single patch of vomerine teeth (Ref. 12693). Head depressed; snout bluntly rounded; eyes small, covered with sebaceous membrane; barbels 2 pairs (Ref. 45563).
Inhabits streams and canals in the floodplain. Feeds mainly on small fishes as well as prawns and insect larvae. Moves into inundated forests and floodplains during the high water season. Sold fresh (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00562 (0.00279 - 0.01132), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.61 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
