Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 16 - 27; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 27. Body moderately elongate, belly keeled, with 8 to 10 + 6 to 8 scutes. Snout blunt, pre-maxillae small and toothed, prominent teeth at symphysis and along sides of lower jaw; second supra-maxilla spatulate, about half length of maxilla blade. Pectoral axillary scale less than half length of fin; last two anal fin rays forming a separate finlet.
Body is yellowish to gray coloration with silver white transverse-band from gill opening to caudal peduncle (Ref. 85859).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occur in reservoirs and presumably in rivers (Ref. 188). Found in standing waters and large rivers. Feed on planktonic crustaceans. A nocturnal species which can be attracted to bright lights. Found in schools during the spawning season (Ref. 85859). Used to produce prahoc and tuk trey (Ref. 12693).
