Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 15 - 16; Raios dorsais (total) : 8 - 10; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 7 - 10; Vértebras: 29 - 32. Small, slender, laterally compressed body (Ref. 47153). A rather acutely pointed snout (Ref. 47153). Lips slightly thickened (Ref. 47153). Lower jaw ventral outline almost straight, the rostral outline of lower jaw straight or slightly convex with a smoothly rounded mental area (Ref. 47153). Pectoral fins just reaching the anus; dorsal fin rays slightly longer than those of the anal fin, nearly reaching the caudal fin base (Ref. 47153). All scales on the head are cycloid; scales on rostral part of dorsum cycloid or very weakly ctenoid, caudal part of dorsum with ctenoid scales; scales on flank and caudal peduncle ctenoid; ventral chest scales small and cycloid, lateral chest scales moderately small, weakly ctenoid (Ref. 47153).Live basic color for males is bluish-grey dorsally and silvery white ventrally, sexually active males have a pitch black head and body; females and juveniles have a distinct, relatively thin mid lateral band, but the cheek of the females are slightly more greyish (Ref. 47153). Two continuous longitudinal bands on the body (Ref. 47153).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Haplochromis thereuterion occurs in the upper layers of the water column in Lake Victoria (Ref. 47153).
