Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.4 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5648)
Occurs in the littoral and sub-littoral zone, especially where the substrate is hard and usually where there is submerged vegetation (Ref. 5648). Feeds mainly on mollusks (particularly Lamellibranchiata). Insects (esp. Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera and Chironomidae together with crustaceans and Hydracarina) were ingested less frequently (Ref. 558).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.44 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
