France country information

Common names: Kerlèche, Loche d'étang, Misgurne
Occurrence: native
Salinity: freshwater
Abundance: occasional (usually not seen) | Ref: Keith, P., J. Allardi and B. Moutou, 1992
Importance: | Ref:
Aquaculture: | Ref:
Regulations: | Ref:
Uses: no uses
Comments: Principally indigenous in the North-East where it is less and less reported. Although considered as rare in France, its geographic distribution is probably underestimated because the areas where it frequently occurs are not well fished and not well sampled. Its benthic habit could also account for its rareness (Ref. 11941). Its biotope has to be protected ("arrêté du 8-12-1988"). In " Annexe II de la Directive Habitats-Faune-Flore" and in " Annexe III de la Convention de Berne" (Ref. 40476). Also Ref. 2163, 30578. Status of threat: Endangered (Ref. 40476). Least concern (Ref. 59043).

Europe and Asia: In Europe, north of the Alps, from Meuse eastward to Neva drainages and Lake Ladoga; northern Black Sea basin from Danube eastward to Kuban, absent on the southern section; Caspian basin in Volga and Ural drainages. Not native to Great Britain, Scandinavia, Apennine and Iberian peninsulas, Crimea, and Adriatic, Aegean and White Sea basins. Locally introduced in Rhône drainage (France) and perhaps elsewhere (Ref. 59043).

Short description Khóa để định loại | Hình thái học | Sinh trắc học

Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 3; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng) : 5 - 6; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 3; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 8 - 11; Động vật có xương sống: 49 - 50. Broad midlateral stripe from eye to caudal base and narrow stripe from opercle at least to pelvic origin. Lamina circularis absent in males (Ref. 59043). Caudal fin with 14-16 rays (Ref. 40476).

Sinh học     Tự điển (thí dụ epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Found in lower reaches of slow-flowing rivers, but can also be found in still pools (Ref. 9696), on sandy bottoms of ponds, pools and ditches. Adults are nocturnal which burrow into mud during dry periods and strong frosts. Usually, burrows are 20-30 cm deep, occasionally down to 70 cm during dry periods (Ref. 59043). During the day, they stay buried in the sand. Feed on insect larvae and small mollusks. Seldom captured with hook and line (Ref. 30578). Are sensitive to pollutants which accumulate in the sediment (Ref. 11941). Facultative air-breathers (Ref. 27368). A female specimen measuring 30.7 cm TL was recorded from Netherlands (Ref. 114650).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Sự tái sinh sản | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Ấu trùng

Male follows female into dense vegetation and forms a complete ring around her body, behind dorsal fin (Ref. 59043).
