Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 10. 38-42 vertebrates. Dark pigmentation on peritoneum and body. Dark stripe from eye to caudal fin base.

Inhabits springs and streams with fast flow and open water (Ref. 59043). Occurs in deeper waters of the river and in the ditches of lowland, preferring places where current is slow. Found over stony, gravelly and sandy bottoms. Omnivore. Feeds throughout the water column (Ref. 26100). Preys predominantly on aquatic insects. Eggs are adhesive, 2 mm in diameter (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00402 - 0.01570), b=3.13 (2.96 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100).
