🔬 Taxonomy

🐟 Physical Description

Dorsal spines (total): 29 - 30; Dorsal soft rays (total): 75 - 85; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 76 - 86; Vertebrae: 90 - 93. Mastacembelus kakrimensis has a blunted snout . Posterior angle of lips situated from about below the horizontal middle of the posterior nare up to its posterior edge . Upper corner of gill opening very slightly anterior to dorsal point of pectoral-fin base, both points clearly anterior to ventral point of pectoral-fin base; dorsal point of pectoral-fin base situated largely above upper corner of gill opening; gill opening closed for about half, up to entire vertical distance between the dorsal and ventral edge of the pectoral-fin base . Lateral line is yellowish-white; can be continuous in anterior part, from the head up to half the distance between head and anus; the remaining, more porsterior, part of the lateral line is always clearly discontinuous . Preopercular spines are present in small-sized specimens, but are absent in medium and large sized specimens . Preanal length negatively allometric, postanal length positively allometric, latter always smaller than former .: eel-like.
