Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Inhabits mainly small rivers and streams with riffles and pools. May be confined to very small pools during summer. Also found along shores of slowly flowing lowland rivers, even in very small mountain streams and in large lakes, undertaking spawning migrations to inflowing streams or spawning in very shallow water, over stones close to surf zones. Feeding larvae and juveniles occur in very shallow shoreline habitats. Juveniles are gregarious while adults are more solitary. Feeds on various aquatic and terrestrial animal and plant material. Large individuals feed mainly on fishes. Breeds in shallow riffles with fast-flowing water. Often forms hybrids with Alburnus arborella and Alburnus albidus. Attains up to at least 60 cm SL (Ref. 59043).

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

Spawns in shallow riffle habitats with fast-flowing water. Females spawn more than once during a season; individual females spawn with several males. Males assemble at the spawning sits and follow ripe females, frequently with much splashing, to shallow riffles or lake shores. Females lay sticky eggs into excavations made in gravel (Ref. 59043)

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=0.00692 (0.00450 - 0.01064), b=3.13 (3.00 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tm=3-5).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (49 of 100). 🛈
