Comments: Occurs in medium to large-sized rivers (Ref. 12975).  Found from middle depths to the surface in deeper parts of large rivers.  Feeds on smaller fish near the water surface.  An excellent game fish which can be caught using hook and line.  Presently large numbers are being taken  near Stung Treng in Cambodia by explosives (Ref. 12693).  Migrates upstream through the Khone Falls in June-July with other silurids and enters the flooded forest in July-October, where it feeds heavily on cyprinids of the genus <i>Henicorhynchus</i> (pa soi, identified as <i>Cirrhinus</i> spp.) (Ref. 38432).  Marketed fresh or dried and salted (Ref. 12693).
