Tamaño / Peso / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 112 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 40637); common length : 58.5 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 12193); peso máximo publicado: 37.3 kg (Ref. 40637); edad máxima reportada: 15 años (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).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (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);
