Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes(genus, species) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa

Teleostei (teleosts) > Clupeiformes (Herrings) > Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Clupanodon: Latin, clupea = sardine, derived from Clupeus = shield; doubtless a reference to the scales covering the body of the fish (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Linnaeus.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 22 - 28. Body moderately deep; belly with 16 to 19 (usually 18) + 9 to 12 (usually 10 or 11) total 27 to 31 (usually 29 or 30) scutes; pre-dorsal scutes present, 17 to 26 (usually 20 to 25). gill rakers of first arch at least 3/4 length of gill filaments. Vertebrae 43 to 46 (usually 44 or 45). A dark spot behind gill opening, followed by further spots on flank.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in coastal waters and in rivers, presumably tolerating brackish water, if not fully fresh condition. More data needed.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24 - 29, mean 27.4 °C (based on 184 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00531 - 0.01641), b=3.07 (2.92 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 3.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Assuming tm=1).
Prior r = 1.19, 95% CL = 0.79 - 1.79, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Very high vulnerability (78 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 190 [104, 334] mg/100g; Iron = 1.8 [1.1, 2.9] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.415 [0.238, 0.736] g/100g; Selenium = 38 [19, 72] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.9 [15.0, 81.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.58 [1.12, 2.27] mg/100g (wet weight);
