Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Gregarious but occurs in more restricted schools of about a dozen individuals. May occur singly or as a couple (Ref. 35237). Mainly found in freshwater (Ref. 9589) and brackish estuaries near river mouths (Ref. 5217). Occasionally marketed in the aquarium trade (Ref. 9589). Used in eye research because of its divided cornea which projects two images on the retina (Ref. 35237).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00200 - 0.01202), b=3.17 (2.95 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
