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

Biología     Glosario (por ej. 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).
Nivel trófico (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.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (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);
