Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 13; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 8. Body depth at least 1.1 times in head length; ventral fin length at least 1.7 times in head length; nuchal hump steeply rising at occiput; black, blackish red, dark brown or dark green.

Prefers rocky substrates in waters less than 6 m deep, especially in the shore areas, but it also occurs over muddy and sandy substrates. It has a mixed diet of mainly fish, insects and macrophytes (Ref. 35835).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00422 - 0.02065), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.50 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
