Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
; zoet water benthopelagisch. Tropical; 13°N - 11°N
Africa: endemic to Lake Tana and its tributaries, Ethiopia (Ref. 35835, 96382, 128753).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 82.4 cm FL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 35835)
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 12-13; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 8. Lower jaw extending anteriorly of the upper jaw by at least the thickness of the upper lip; upper jaw length more than 1.3 times in lower jaw.
Has a small preference for rocky substrates and waters less than 6 m deep. Is a partial piscivore: specimens smaller than 15 FL mainly eat insect larvae and zooplankton, but also some fish. With size, the amount of fish in the diet increases, as does the amount of plant material, while the amount of insects decreases and zooplankton disappears altogether (Ref. 35835).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00422 - 0.02065), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.44 se; based on food items.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 4,5-14 jaar (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
