Max length : 11.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5723); common length : 6.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 12193); Età massima riportata: 5 anni (Ref. 12193)

Occurs almost anywhere in its range but most common in clear rocky streams (Ref. 3814, 10294); also inhabits large rivers, reservoirs and glacial lakes to the north. Feeds on algae, detritus, entomostraca, and immature insects, especially midge larvae and pupae (Ref. 10294).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00374 - 0.01221), b=3.22 (3.06 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tmax=5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
