Description synthétique Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie

Pigmentation (Gambetta's longitudinal zone of pigmentation): blotches of zonez Z2 and Z4 grey to olive, edges not sharply contrasted; zonesZ1 and Z3 absent or very poorly defined and present only on anterior half of body. Presence of two laminae circularis.

Adults inhabit lakes and highland water courses, with sand or mud bottom and underwater vegetation (Ref. 59043). Feed on invertebrates. Spawn in April and May (Ref. 59043). Oviparous, with distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Threatened due to water abstraction and pollution (Ref. 26100).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larves

During courtship, 'the male follows the female and, after both enter dense vegetation (e.g. filamentous algae), the male forms a complete ring around the female's body behind the dorsal as the female releases the eggs' (Ref. 59043). Probably a multiple spawner (Ref. 59043).

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=0.00562 (0.00254 - 0.01244), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tmax = 1; Assumed Fec < 10,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
