Population [top]
Population: Although Patra et al. (2005) report a mean decline of 33.6% in catch for this species in the Sundarbans (Ganges-Brahmaputra estuary) for the period 1960-2000 and Mishra et al. (2009) report a decline of 27.8% in catch for this species in southwestern Bengal for a similar period, there is insufficient data from other areas where this species is naturally distributed. Current indications are that this is a widespread, common species.
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
? Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species inhabits estuaries and tidal rivers and lakes, ascending to freshwater, often entering the sea (Talwar and Jhingran 1991).
Systems: Freshwater; Marine
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: This species is commonly utilized as a food fish, and has occasionally been caught and exported as an ornamental fish.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Although the southern West Bengal population is threatened from overfishing, threats to this species in the rest of its range are unknown. Since there is no information on the biology of this species, the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown. The current threats to aquatic biodiversity in all of its known distribution have also not been adequately identified.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There is insufficient information on the biology and potential threats for this species. Catch data for this species is also needed. The identities of the Southeast Asian populations require study to resolve their identities.
