Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 12 - 13; Vertebrae: 40 - 41. Distinguished from its congeners, except Batasio batasio, in possessing a color pattern on the body consisting solely of horizontal stripes (vs. with vertical bars and spots, or a uniform dark brown color). Differs from B. batasio in having a shorter dorsal spine (14.0-16.1% SL vs. 16.7-18.5), longer adipose-fin base (28.3-31.8 % SL vs. 24.8-26.5), and a deeper body (19.5-21.2% SL vs. 17.0-17.4) and caudal peduncle (9.3-9.7% SL vs. 8.2-8.8) (Ref. 54041).

Found in lowland river with turbid water, mainly on sand substrate in lotic areas and sand/mud substrate with some submerged and emergent vegetation in lentic backwaters (Ref. 54041).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00384 - 0.01800), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
