Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12.

Inhabits vegetated quiet water and usually swims several inches below surface of water. 7 cm max TL (Ref. 5723). Feeds on larval crustaceans (mainly cyclopoid and harpacticoid copepods), mosquito larvae, small worms, and mollusks (Ref. 79012). Not a seasonal killifish. Is difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.7 - 26.7, mean 23.7 °C (based on 167 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00614 - 0.02355), b=3.15 (2.98 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 407 [194, 1,040] mg/100g; Iron = 2.72 [1.33, 5.23] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.5, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.458 [0.204, 1.045] g/100g; Selenium = 8.46 [3.41, 21.28] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.6 [6.4, 81.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.32 [1.44, 3.65] mg/100g (wet weight);
