Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 24 - 30. Body moderately deep; belly with 15 to 18 + 9 to 12 scutes. Mouth relatively large; lower jaw comparatively long, upper jaw reaching to vertical from eye center. Last dorsal fin ray long, but less than distance from snout tip to pelvic fin base; anal fin moderately long. Scales small, somewhat irregular. A dark spot behind gill opening. Gill rakers fine and numerous.

Occurs in rivers and lakes. A filter-feeder, its feeding and breeding habits presumably similar to other Dorosoma species. More data needed.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00433 - 0.01920), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 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 (12 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
