Kurzbeschreibung Morphologie | Morphometrie

Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 16 - 17; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 12-13; Afterflossenstacheln 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 9 - 11. Having a higher number of lateral line scales (36-37 vs. 30-35) compared to other species of Mylochromis, except M. formosus, M. gracilis, M. spilostichus and M. melanonotus. Differs from M. gracilis and M. spilostichus in having a complete oblique band.; from M. ensatus and M. formosus in having a deeper body (31-38% SL vs. 26-30); and wider interorbital (22-26% HL vs. 18-21); and from M. melanonotus in having a group of enlarged blunt teeth in the center of the lower pharyngeal bone (Ref. 41259).

Inhabits shallow, sandy shores; in shallower part of range it is the most abundant species; feeds on cladocerans, copepods and algae (Ref. 41276).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Preiskategorie (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
