Etymology: Knipowitschia: Because of N.M.Knipowitsch, a zoologist and Russian ichthyologist from the Academy of Sciences. Expeditions in "Pomor" and "Pervosvanniy" ships to Azov and Black sea (1898-1908).

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 2.6 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 59043); max. reported age: 2.00 years (Ref. 59043)
Occurs in lowland water bodies (Ref. 26100); in clear, nearly stagnant, temperate, sometimes slightly brackish waters with abundant submerged vegetation and sand or mud bottom. It lives up to 2 years. Spawns in February-March; juveniles free swimming while adults are benthic. Feeds on chironomid larvae and small crustaceans. Threatened for habitat are largely drained and filled with garbage (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00349 - 0.02862), b=3.09 (2.85 - 3.34), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
