Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults inhabit mountain streams and rivers (Ref. 41236), preferring to live among rocks (Ref. 4832). Are herbivores feeding mainly on algae, aquatic plants and detritus (Ref. 6351). Mature individuals breed during April and May (Ref. 4832). The flesh of this species is much relished (Ref. 4832).

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=0.01549 (0.00960 - 0.02499), b=2.99 (2.86 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=2; Fec=30,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 444 [249, 826] mg/100g; Iron = 9.29 [2.64, 22.13] mg/100g; Protein = 17 [16, 18] %; Omega3 = 0.441 [0.187, 1.017] g/100g; Selenium = 305 [107, 773] μg/100g; VitaminA = 25 [10, 62] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.88 [2.36, 6.15] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
