Uses: no uses
Comments: Found in the Mekong basin. Although common around Stung Treng, it does not seem to occur in the Great Lake (Ref. 12693). In northern Cambodia (Stung Treng-Kratie), this species migrates upstream in this river stretch in November-December and downstream in April-June (Ref. 37770). Both upstream and downstream migrations are associated with full moon (Ref. 37770). Also Ref. 43281.

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Last simple anal ray osseus and serrated posteriorly; pale orange anal, pelvic and dorsal fins; last simple dorsal ray reaching the caudal fin in adults and with 28-36 serrae (in specimens 6-15 cm SL) (Ref. 27732); serrated anal spine; silvery body coloration (Ref. 12693).

Inhabits large upland rivers. Seems to avoid standing water. Little is known about its biology. Like other members of the genus, it probably feeds mainly on plant matter and occasionally on insects and insect larvae (Ref. 12693). Also reported to prefer deep pools in the river and to migrate into streams, canals and lakes during the flood season. Migrates in large schools (Ref. 37770). Migrates together with Cosmochilus harmandi, Cirrhinus spp., Labeo chrysophekadion and Bangana sp (Ref. 37770). Marketed fresh (Ref. 12693).
