Africa: endemic to Lake Tanganyika, known from the Zambian coast between Kasenga and Kapembwa (Ref. 76873), from the Tanzanian coast (Ref. 91764) and from Bulumba Island, DR Congo (Ref. 97302).

Descrição breve Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 18; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 10 - 11; Espinhos anais: 5; Raios anais moles: 8 - 9; Vértebras: 34. Diagnosis: sesamoid bone in the labial ligament present; 2 pores at neurocranial lateral line foramina 0; body depth 23.4–26.2% SL; head length 31.0–33.7% SL; 34 vertebra; interorbital width 17.4–24.5% HL; usually 11 dorsal fin rays; 73-79 longitudinal line scales; 10–12 gill rakers on the first ceratobranchial; color pattern based on three rows of irregular spots; fins bright yellow; very dark, large spots on the flanks, without additional small spots or a complex pattern of spots and worm lines on the head (Ref. 76873).

Occurs mainly along the rocky coast; feeds exclusively on fishes and mainly on young and sub-adults of cyprichromine cichlids; when hunting for prey, it exhibits aggressive mimicry by changing its body coloration; seems to breed in rather deep water (> 30 m); probably monogamous (Ref. 76873).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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