Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

This species is distinguished from other gobies in freshwaters of Adriatic basin and western Italy by the following characters: males with small black spots on body; with cephalic lateral line canals; anterior oculoscapular canal extending to snout; branched rays in second dorsal 8-9.5; anal origin below simple of first branched ray of D2; total scales in midlateral series 36-42; completely scaled caudal peduncle (Ref. 59043).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in inshore habitats, lagoons, lakes and large to medium-size rivers; on sand or mud bottom. Spawns after first winter in March-July; individual females spawn several times during a season. Adhesive eggs deposited under or between stones, shells and aquatic plants and males guard the eggs until hatching. Feeds on a wide variety of benthic invertebrates (worms, amphipods, Ref.4696) (Ref.59043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00392 - 0.01338), b=2.94 (2.78 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
