Korte beschrijving Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie

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

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

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (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 (2.98 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.53 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (K=0.20; tmax=11).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Pelecus cultratus (Linnaeus, 1758)
