Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 9-10; Taggstrålar i analfenan 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 16 - 19; Ryggkotor: 38 - 39. Diagnosis: Operculum shiny only on ventral posterior edge and small area at posterior edge of orbit, not entire area; body midline black, not silver; head with tubercles along lower jaw and lower head in breeding males; snout rounded, not pointed; iris white to light grey, not dark grey, with a few melanophores; pelvic fin melanophores present, dark and widely dispersed (Ref. 116496).

This species is found in ecological conditions very similar to those characteristic of Engraulicypris gariepinus; it favours big rivers, gathering in slack, turbid and shallow regions with sandy, rocky or muddy substrates; in Lake Chiuta specimens were caught in reed beds along the margins (Ref. 116496).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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