Collected from coastal, black waters throughout Brunei (taken from L.R. Parenti's field notes at USNM). The streams where specimens were collected either ran through Nipa or dipterocarp vegetation. Species collected at more than one of the stations include: the phallostethids Neostethus borntiensis, N. bicornis; the gobies Stimatogobius borneensis, Bruchygobius doriae, Mugilogobius rambaiae, Hemigobius sp.; the puffer Tetraodon leirus; and eleotrids Bostryhus sp. and Ophiocara pomcephala; also a species of Zenarchopterus was collected at one station (Ref. 44897).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00200 - 0.01044), b=3.03 (2.83 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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