Eponymy: Kaaea is a Napwé Tribal Chief, who kindly permitted the collection of freshwater fishes on tribal lands in New Caledonia. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Resilienza (Fonte Biblio.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
