Short description पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स

पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 16 - 19; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 8 - 9; गुदा कांटा: 8 - 9; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 8 - 10.

Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Occurs in vegetated riverine backwaters, floodplain lagoons, swamps and isolated pans (Ref. 52193). It feeds on any suitably small creature, including insects, shrimps, and small fish; well camouflaged; hunts by slowly stalking prey (Ref. 52193). May congregate in groups to breed; the eggs are scattered around and not guarded (Ref. 52193). Can endure warm stagnant waters and is known to leave the water and move overland to alternative sites in wet weather or at night (Ref. 7248, 52193).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00200 - 0.01258), b=3.05 (2.82 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.61 se; based on food items.

लौटाव (Ref. 120179): माध्यम, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी होने का समय 1.4 - 4.4 वर्ष। (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
