Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 15; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9; Εδρικές άκανθες: 3; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 8 - 9. Longitudinal scale count 30-31; snout length 33.4-34.6% HL; maxilla reaching below pupil; mouth slightly prognathous; longest soft rays of dorsal and anal fins reaching well beyond base of caudal; scaleless opercular spot small; scaleless caudal rim on the suboperculum; scales on interoperculum in a single row; postorbital scale column mixed; gill rakers on upper part of ceratobranchial anvil-shaped, trifid on epibranchial; one inner tooth row in the lower jaw extending nearly as far posteriorly as outer row; caudal peduncle length 14.4-15.8% SL; and outer-row teeth in lower jaw 36-44 (Ref. 52072).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Inhabits shallow inshore areas close to vegetation (Ref. 4983). Lake Victoria populations are largely omnivorous, larval insects and small crustaceans predominate in the diet (Ref. 558).
