Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes(genus, species) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa

Teleostei (teleosts) > Siluriformes (Catfishes) > Clariidae (Airbreathing catfishes)
Etymology: Clarias: Greek, chlaros = lively, in reference to the ability of the fish to live for a long time out of water;  pseudoleiacanthus: Named in reference to its similar external morphology with C. leiacanthus ('pseudo' (= false); 'leios' (smooth); acanthos (spine) (Ref. 49847). Not in Eschmeyer (Ref. 46206).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; demersal. Tropical

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 66; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 55 - 57. Short distance between the occipital process and the base of the first dorsal fin ray (4.5-5.6% SL), a very short occipital process length (5.7-8.0% HL), the anterior edge of the pectoral spine smooth and without serrae, and a relatively short anal fin compared to C. nieuhofii with 55-57 rays (Ref. 49847).

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=0.00776 (0.00343 - 0.01757), b=2.97 (2.79 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 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 (20 of 100).
