Asia: Salween basin in Myanmar; possibly present in Sittang.

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 37.7 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 78150)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 36 - 39; Dorsal soft rays (total): 64-71; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 63 - 73; Vertebrae: 89 - 93. Differs from all congeners by having a unique color pattern consisting of five regular and parallel, black, longitudinal bands along the body, frequently expressed a series of interrupted lines or broken up into individuals blotches, and a white margin to the soft dorsal, anal, and caudal fins. Can be separated from other members of the Mastacembelus armatus group by having 41-43 + 47-51 = 89-92 vertebrae (Ref. 78150).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00126 - 0.00629), b=2.96 (2.77 - 3.15), based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100) .
