生物學特性     字彙 (例如 epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); This species inhabits marginal swamps and freshwater lagoons (Ref. 3066) and it appears to favor sheltered inshore habitats (Ref. 3034); it inhabits the muddy regions at the sides of rivers and swampy waters, where it lies quiet or glides about with snake-like movements (Ref. 49805). During the hottest hours of the day, it comes to the surface just on the outer edge of the vegetation, and it goes back to the bottom when disturbed (Ref. 45962). It feeds on insects, crustaceans, mollusks, frogs and fishes (Ref. 4903, Ref. 28714). Polypterus senegalus senegalus is mainly insectivorous (Ref. 367). Longevity of Polypterus senegalus in captivity can be 34 years and more (Ref. 48954). Larval fish 1.1-3.8 cm SL were found in papyrus root mat and juveniles up to 10 cm SL retaining external gills were found in fringing water hyacinth. Feeds mainly on fishes (Ref. 9695), insects, crustaceans, mollusks, frogs as well as on plant fragments and seeds.

這一個種居住於沼澤邊緣與淡水潟湖 (參考文獻 3066) ,而且它似乎喜歡掩蔽的近海棲息地;(參考文獻 3034) 它在河的側邊與沼澤的水域裡居住於泥濘的區域, 在那裡它安靜的停駐或者像蛇一樣到處滑動.(參考文獻 49805) 在白天的最熱幾小時的時候,它在植物的外部邊緣上正好來到表面,而且它去游回底部當被驚擾時.(參考文獻 45962) 吃昆蟲,甲殼動物,軟體動物,青蛙與魚。 (參考文獻 4903, 參考文獻 28714) 塞內加爾多鰭魚〔Polypterus senegalus senegalus〕 主要食蟲。 (參考文獻 367) Polypterus senegalus 的壽命在繁殖場可能是 34 年與更多。 (參考文獻 48954) 仔魚 1.1-3.8 公分 SL 被發現於紙草簇根與稚魚,向上到保有外鰓的 10 公分 SL 被發現於水畔的風信子。 主要吃魚 (參考文獻 9695) ,昆蟲,甲殼動物,軟體動物,青蛙以及植物碎片與種子。

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | 繁殖 | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | 仔魚

In Polypterus senegalus courtship starts with a series of leaps from the surface by usually only one of the pair at a time, followed by a slow descent through the water; after a while the male stays very close to the female and at times the female will remain motionless in the water and the male will come up to her from behind and nudge her with sidewise movements of his head; the enlarged and swollen anal fin of the male is folded in a cup-like fashion and is used to brush the female (Ref. 42791). No nest is constructed, but the eggs are laid a few at a time throughout the thick vegetation (Ref. 42791). The larvae, which move about with the male parent in a dense school, are provided with accessory gills and appear very salamander-like (Ref. 42791).非洲: 尼羅河流域與非洲西方部,包括塞內加爾,甘比亞,尼日,佛塔河與查德湖流域.(參考文獻 2835)
