Max length : 112 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 40637); common length : 58.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 12193); peso massimo pubblicato: 37.3 kg (Ref. 40637); Età massima riportata: 15 anni (Ref. 12193)

Inhabits pools, backwaters and main channels of small to large rivers. Also occurs in lakes and impoundments. Feeds on shellfish and algae, by grinding with the bony plates in its throat (Ref. 9988). Appears to be a good candidate for aquaculture. Marketed fresh and eaten pan-fried, broiled and baked (Ref. 9988).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00848 - 0.01555), b=3.00 (2.91 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tmax=15).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 29.4 [14.7, 51.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.449 [0.257, 0.776] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.3, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 1.16 [0.45, 2.76] g/100g; Selenium = 24.1 [9.8, 54.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.9 [5.1, 51.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.709 [0.486, 1.060] mg/100g (wet weight);
