Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 8; Raggi anali molli: 8. Two pairs of barbels (Ref. 43281); rostral barbel extends well beyond eye; first pectoral ray sometimes reaching anal fin; narrow dark line from head to caudal-fin base (Re. 12693).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Usually found in ditches, canals and ponds often in areas with extensive growth of submerged aquatic plants (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.43 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 492 [286, 910] mg/100g; Iron = 8.17 [4.28, 14.67] mg/100g; Protein = 16.4 [14.9, 18.0] %; Omega3 = 0.427 [0.172, 1.078] g/100g; Selenium = 41 [11, 129] μg/100g; VitaminA = 520 [202, 1,442] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.53 [3.13, 6.40] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
