Etymology:
Labeo:
Latin, labeo = one who has large lips (Ref.
45335
)
.
More on author:
Linnaeus
.
Issue
According to Fricke (2008: Ref. 83466) and Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref.
86870
), this species has been wrongly named
Labeo niloticus
(Forsskål, 1775) for a long time, and should be named
Labeo vulgaris
Haeckel, 1847. This needs further evidence and we keep
Labeo niloticus
but with the authorship as (Linnaeus, 1758) until the case is fixed.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical
Africa: within drainage basin of Nile River, including Blue Nile and White Nile (Ref.
1440
,
28714
), and Lake Turkana and Omo River (Ref.
1440
). Not known from any East Coast rivers or from the Congo basin; several dubious records from West Africa require validation (Ref.
1440
).
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: L
m
24.0
, range 22 - 26 cm
Max length : 63.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref.
876
)
Most closely resembles
L. horie
, with which it has often been confused (Ref.
1440
).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00405 - 0.01487), b=3.02 (2.86 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 2.5 ±0.28 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
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 (32 of 100).
