Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Mouth oblique. Low wavy lateral line. Belly with a sharp edge (Ref. 35388).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Adults shoal in lower reaches of large rivers and in the eastern Baltic, the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea. They spawn in spring in midstream (Ref. 9696) and return to estuaries to forage immediately after spawning (Ref. 59043). Juveniles may migrate to estuaries during first summer (Ref. 59043). Feed on zooplankton, terrestrial invertebrates and small fish (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00358 - 0.01465), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 10.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K=0.20; tmax=11).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 66.5 [31.2, 113.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.558 [0.337, 0.929] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.7, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.8 [0.4, 1.6] g/100g; Selenium = 7.91 [3.55, 16.95] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.8 [5.7, 58.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.677 [0.485, 0.950] mg/100g (wet weight);
