Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic; potamodromous (Ref.
51243
). Tropical; 6°N - 6°S
Africa: very widespread, within the drainage basin of the Nile (Ref.

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=0.01023 (0.00806 - 0.01300), b=3.03 (2.99 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245
).
Generation time: 5.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.12-0.26; tmax=5; Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100).
Price category (Ref.
80766
):
Unknown
.
Nutrients (Ref.
