Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Africa: endemic to but widely distributed in the Congo River basin (Ref. 41594 , 42019 , 42510 , 44840 , 45616 , 46233 , 46253 , 80450 ) in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 42019 ), Republic of Congo (Ref. 44840 ), Cameroon (Ref. 46233 ) and the Central African Republic (Ref. 80450 ). Report from the Malagarasi in Tanzania probably based on a misidentification (Ref. 42019 ).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 42016 )

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal soft rays : 17 - 19. Diagnosis: very well developed adipose eyelid; 17-19 anal-fin rays (III, 14-16); 17-20 gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch; 39-43 lateral line scales; dorsal-fin origin at about same level of pelvic-fin insertions (Ref. 42019 ).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Omnivore; remnants of small fish, fruits (Ref. 4910 ), aquatic and terrestrial insects and vegetation (Ref. 4910 , 41580 ) found in stomach. Found in schools, can frequently be seen jumping above water surface (Ref. 41594 ). Very similar to A. macrophthalmus (Ref. 42019 , 42480 ).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00331 - 0.01379), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown .
