Family:

Leuciscidae Minnows

Max. length (Lmax):

cm TL

L infinity (Linf):

= cm

/year Ø' =
Median Ø' value with related Linf. and K.

Growth & mortality data

to:

years Estimated from Linf and K.

Natural mortality (M):

s.e. - /year
Estimated from Linf., K and annual mean temp. = °C

Life span (approx.):

years Estimated from Linf., K and to.

Generation time:

years Estimated from Lopt, Linf., K and to.

Age at first maturity (tm):

years Estimated from Lm, Linf., K and to.

L maturity (Lm):

s.e. - cm
Estimated from Linf.

L max. yield (Lopt):

s.e. - cm

Fecundity:

[ no value (min.)-no value (max.) ] Estimated as geometric mean. Fecundity

Relative Yield per Recruit (Y'/R):

Estimate Y'/R from M/K, Lc/Linf and E.
Lc= cm    E= /year
Emsy /year    Eopt /year
Fmsy /year    Fopt /year

Exploitation:

Z=
F=
E=

Estimate Z, F, E from Lc, Lmean, Linf, K, M
Lc = cm
Lmean = cm

Resilience / productivity:

Vulnerable to extinction if decline in biomass or numbers exceeds threshold over the longer of 10 years or 3 generations.

Intrinsic rate of increase (rm):

/year

Lr = cm
Estimated from Fmsy at Lc = length of recruitment (Lr).

Main food:

Trophic level:

0.0 Estimated from Ecopath model.

Food consumption (Q/B):

times the body weight per year

Enter Winf, temperature, aspect ratio (A), and food type to estimate Q/B
Winf = g Temp. = °C

A =

Detrivore	Herbivore	Omnivore	Carnivore

Estimate growth

Note: The estimates are derived from default values taken from FishBase and will thus not be appropriate for every population. You can change these values and recalculate the life history parameters.
