Comments: Occurs in the Mekong basin (Ref. 12693). Found around the Tonle Sap, Great Lake, (Ref. 36651), Sékong, Stung Chihreng and Sré Umbell (Ref. 36654). Undertakes a non-reproductive upstream migration during November to February all the way from Kandal, near Phnom Penh, to the Khone Falls and a reproductive downstream migration from May to July (Ref. 37770). Recorded from market surveys at Stung Treng in February and at Kratie in January-February where this species is considered part of a group of small non-reproductive fish migrating upstream from downriver in January-February (Ref. 37770). Sangke river, Battambang province (Ref. 41486). Also Ref. 27732, 33813, 36662, 36686, 43281.

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Has 33-42 gill rakers on the first gill arch (Ref. 12693); 56-64 lateral line scales; the lateral line usually discontinuous; the dorsal profile almost arched as the ventral profile (Ref. 27732).

Occurs in shallow depths of large rivers (Ref. 12693). Found in slow flowing large rivers (Ref. 43281). Forms schools; often harvested in large numbers throughout its range. Feeds on zooplankton and occasionally on insects. Goes into flooded forests when water level is high and returns to the mainstream after the water level declines considerably (Ref. 12693). Spawning occurs at the onset of the flood season (May to July) and the eggs and larvae are swept downstream and out onto the flooded areas (Ref. 37770). Sometimes marketed fresh, but often used to make prahoc (Ref. 12693).

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=0.00617 (0.00292 - 0.01304), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.43 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
