Ecology Summary - Lethenteron ninae

Language:

Main Ref.	Naseka, A.M., S.B. Tuniyev and C.B. Renaud, 2009
Remarks	Ammocoetes are found in silt, sand or fine pebble sediment in sections with slow or no current, usually in the middle and low reaches of rivers, often in shallows at banks or backwaters at depths of about 10-50 cm, among submerged plants (Rumex acetosella, Polygonum sp., Juncus sp., Poaceae). In general, the abundance is relatively low, 1-8 (averaging 2) individuals per 100 m2, but in some localities in the Psou and Mzymta rivers there were up to 400 individuals of all sizes per 100 m2 (Ref. 82201).
