Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 11 - 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 5-8; Anal spines: 11-12; Anal soft rays: 8 - 10. Distinguished by the following unique combination of character states: dorsal fin with 11-13 spines; anal fin with 11-12 spines and 8-10 segmented rays; round caudal fin with narrow bluish vertical band bounded anteriorly by brownish patch and posteriorly by black subdistal band; absence of blotch on posterior part of dorsal fin and reddishbrown bands on anal and dorsal fins (Ref. 93137)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Found in peat swamp associated with a shallow pond (water depth about 30 to 100 cm) and Surface of the swamp was in parts densely covered with aquatic plants (Ref. 93137). Water was shaded by trees and shrubs (Ref. 93137).

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=0.00389 (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).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 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 (10 of 100).
