Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Adults occur in rivers and ponds (Ref. 4832); in slow-moving waters of rivers and feed on plants (Ref. 9687), filamentous algae and diatoms (Ref. 44151). Fecundity of 2 specimens (38.8-40.5 cm) ranged between 193,000 and 238,000 (Ref. 1479).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00816 - 0.01283), b=3.03 (2.99 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 7.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.14-0.15).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (56 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 159 [52, 394] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.724 [0.408, 1.301] mg/100g ; Protein = 16.2 [15.1, 17.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.41 [0.14, 1.15] g/100g ; Selenium = 366 [123, 1,018] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 3.02 [0.95, 10.42] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.924 [0.552, 1.565] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
