Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

That testes seem to develop earlier and stay ripe longer suggest multiple spawning by males. Eggs are laid in long, ribbon-shaped veils (Ref. 4842).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00856 - 0.02440), b=3.00 (2.85 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.3 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 69278): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (K=0.06-0.1; tmax=30; Fec=300,000).

Prior r = 0.31, 2 SD range = 0.13 - 0.75, log(r) = -1.17, SD log(r) = 0.44, Based on: 1 K, 1 tmax, 2 Fec records

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (77 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
