Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Compressed body; a small and only slightly protractile mouth; an interrupted lateral line; brown color with about 6-8 blackish vertical bars.
Found in slow or standing waters, among bushes of shore vegetation (Ref. 27732). Occurs in medium to large-sized rivers and flooded fields (Ref. 12975), lakes, ponds and swamps (Ref. 41236). Feeds on filamentous algae, submerged land plants, fruits and seeds with some aquatic insects and crustaceans (Ref. 12693). Undertakes lateral migrations from the Mekong River to the floodplains during the flood season and back again at the onset of the dry season (Ref. 37770).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01549 (0.01099 - 0.02183), b=3.01 (2.91 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.44).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 203 [101, 388] mg/100g; Iron = 1.93 [1.13, 3.46] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.1, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.42 [0.16, 1.17] g/100g; Selenium = 112 [41, 282] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17 [6, 50] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.74 [1.13, 2.63] mg/100g (wet weight);
