Eastern Atlantic: Vardø, Norway, Baltic Sea and the British Isles to Morocco. Also throughout the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Sea of Azov. Record off Ghana is still questionable (Ref. 4509).

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 35.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 35388)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Snout is compressed and taller than the eye diameter (Ref. 35388) and anterior trunk rings not fused ventrally (Ref. 59043).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Usually found along the coasts and estuaries at a temperature range of 8° to 24°C (Ref. 4944). Often associated with Zostera or other vegetation (Ref. 6733). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Spawns in summer (Ref. 35388).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.8 - 19.6, mean 14 °C (based on 1098 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00025 (0.00019 - 0.00033), b=3.20 (3.14 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.7 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.56; tm=1; Fec=100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 36.9 [8.1, 118.9] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.443 [0.182, 1.383] mg/100g ; Protein = 3.56 [0.00, 7.35] % ; Omega3 = 0.481 [0.213, 1.164] g/100g ; Selenium = 6.69 [1.13, 20.11] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 20.9 [7.2, 62.2] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.556 [0.264, 1.079] mg/100g (wet weight);
