Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults are found in the middle reaches of rivers during the summer; migrates downstream in autumn (Ref. 559). River bed consists of cobbles, boulders and gravel in riffles and sand and gravel in pools (Ref. 56353). Feed on fishes (Ref. 559). Juveniles migrate from the spawning ground in the sea to the middle reaches of rivers to grow (Ref. 56353).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

From an aquarium observation, parental care is provided by the male which guarded and cared for the eggs until they hatch (Ref. 56353).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00281 - 0.01234), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.2   ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Fec = 15,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
