Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Differs from its congeners in Black Sea basin by the possession of the following characters: eye diameter 17-23% HL; longitudinal epithelial crests on predorsal scales; scale rows between lateral line and pelvic origin 4; scales rows around caudal peduncle 12; dorsal fin with 8½ branched rays; and anal fin with 6½ branched rays (Ref. 59043).

Found in deep waters of large rivers on sand bottom (Ref. 59043).

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=0.00603 (0.00294 - 0.01235), b=3.12 (2.95 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
