Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm 4.4, range 4 - ? cm
Max length : 5.3 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 116918)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-18; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 16 - 27. Body fairly elongate, belly keeled, with 11 + 6 or 7 (usually 7) scutes. Teeth minute or absent in jaws; second supra-maxilla at least as long as blade. Last two anal fin rays forming a separate finlet. Resembles C. laciniata which has more gill rakers, but fewer pre-dorsal bones. Species of Clupeichthys also have a separate finlet, but jaw teeth prominent and present on sides of jaw.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in rivers and estuaries (Ref. 4832). Also found in coastal areas of Bay of Bengal (Ref. 45255). Depth estimate based on ecology.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00452 - 0.01396), b=2.96 (2.81 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec = 420-3,240).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 220 [129, 514] mg/100g; Iron = 2.16 [1.36, 3.55] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.4, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.517 [0.190, 1.408] g/100g; Selenium = 15.4 [6.8, 34.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14 [8, 27] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.71 [1.97, 3.67] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
