Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 10-14; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 3 - 5
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Typically from floodplain lakes, swamps and borrow pits, in poorly-oxygenated waters and must rely on air breathing for long periods of time. Has a specialized (enlarged) stomach which appear to function as accessory respiratory organs (Ref. 58517).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01537 - 0.04300), b=2.94 (2.80 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (Assuming Tmax >3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 88 [48, 171] mg/100g; Iron = 1.27 [0.71, 2.24] mg/100g; Protein = 16.2 [15.1, 17.4] %; Omega3 = 0.273 [0.106, 0.701] g/100g; Selenium = 126 [53, 312] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.9 [7.5, 60.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.62 [1.07, 2.41] mg/100g (wet weight);
