Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Occurs usually in still and slow-running waters where it travels in large shoals [1]. Can survive out of the water for extended periods[2].

Typically found in a lake at a mean distance from sea level of 83 meters (273 feet).[3]

Ecology: Habitat :
A wide variety of lakes and large to medium sized rivers . Most abundant in backwaters , lower reaches of slow-flowing rivers, brackish estuaries and warm and shallow lakes. Semi-anadromous individuals enter freshened parts of seas to forage . Usually spawns in densely vegetated backwaters, floodplains or lake shores . Sometimes far from shore. Nearly all surfaces can be used for spawning.

Biology :
Gregarious . During winter, form large aggregations, often together with other fish. Lives about 10-20 years. Spawns for the first time at 3-4 years. Some females do not spawn every year. Spawns in May-June at temperatures above 15°C. In many populations, spawning migration starts in autumn (especially semi-anadromous individuals), slows down during winter and continues in spring . Migrate far upriver (100 km in Dniepr) to spawn. Males with nuptial tubercles on head and body. Males often defend spawning territories along shoreline . Females spawn from once a year over a few days (Rhine) to 1-3 portions, at 7-14 days intervals (Lake Ilmen). Eggs are sticky and egg size increase with age of female. Larvae and juveniles inhabit still water bodies, feeding on plankton . Survival of juvenile is high in backwaters and low in main channel of large rivers. Growth is faster in main river than in backwaters. Juveniles 1-2 years old move from backwaters to river for feeding and then return to backwaters to spawn. If juveniles do not have an opportunity to leave backwaters, they are able to adapt but have a slower growth and reach maturity at a smaller size (stunted populations). In lower parts of large rivers, juveniles drift to brackish estuaries to forage when water level of flooded areas drops. Juveniles forage in brackish waters enter lower parts of rivers to overwinter in freshwater . Juveniles mostly feed on zooplankton . Feeds on benthic invertebrates , which are dug out of fine bottom sediments, and also often on molluscs . May shift to particle feeding or even filter feeding at high zooplankton abundance . Frequently forms fertile hybrids with Rutilus rutilus. [4].

List of Habitats:

•     5.1     Wetlands (inland) - Permanent Rivers/Streams/Creeks (includes waterfalls )

Biology

Diet

Feeds on insects, particularly chironomids , small crustaceans, mollusks and plants . Larger specimens may feed on small fish. The juveniles feeds on zooplankton [5].

Migration

Non-migratory.
