Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 2,911 meters (0 to 9,551 feet).[3]

Ecology: Habitat :
Cold, clear and fast-flowing water of small stream to medium-sized rivers . As well on gravel or rocky shores of cold lakes and in slightly brackish waters along eastern Baltic coast.

Biology :
Spawns for the first time at 2-4 years. Spawns in March-April, when temperature rises above 12°C. Females spawn once a year. Most individuals spawn for several years. They lay adhesive eggs in a compact clutch on ceiling of small cavities in gravel or rock bottom . Males guard eggs until hatching ; a single male may guard the egg clutches of several females. Feeds on a wide variety of benthic invertebrates . (Ref. 265445).

List of Habitats:

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