Etymology: Cirrhinus: Latin, cirrus = curl fringe (Ref. 45335). More on author: Fowler.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic; potamodromous (Ref. 51243). Tropical
Asia: Chao Phraya basin in Thailand (Ref. 33488) and Tonlé Sap, Cambodia (Ref. 33813).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 26.6 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 108878); max. published weight: 198.00 g (Ref. 108878)
Vertebrae: 32. Differs from Cirrhinus lobatus in having a dark round spot on the caudal peduncle; it is small, small-headed species, often (but not always) with a strongly projecting snout not observed in other species.
Found at bottom depths in canals, ditches and small streams in large river floodplains. Migrates up small rivers and streams and out onto floodplains. Feeds on phytoplankton, periphyton, benthic algae, detritus and some zooplankton. Most likely used to make prahoc (Ref. 12693).
