Description

Physical Description

Habitat

The only member of the family which lives in freshwater . Crepuscular and nocturnal [1]. Inhabits deep lakes and large rivers [2] with slow-moving current . Seeks shelter under rocks, in crevices on the river banks, among roots of trees and dense vegetation [3]. Those in rivers tend to congregate in deep holes throughout the year, except at spawning[4]. Movements into shallower water during summer nights are related to feeding[5].

Typically found in a lake at a mean distance from sea level of 279 meters (917 feet).[6]

Ecology: Habitat :
All well oxygenated flowing waters and large lakes . Known from estuaries of large lowland rivers as well as from small mountain streams .

Biology :
Generally nocturnal . Males reproduce for the first time at two years, females at three in Central Europe. Spawns in November-March, at temperatures below 4°C. May undertake short spawning migrations . Spawns at night, in groups of up to 20 interlaced individuals forming a ball about 60 cm in diameter constantly moving and rolling on the bottom , releasing eggs and sperm . Eggs are semipelagic , slightly sticky and 1.2-1.8 mm in diameter. Eggs hatch after 40-70 days. Larvae are positively phototactic, float below surface in March-April. After about two months, juveniles are benthic , grow rapidly, reach about 80 mm SL within first year. In contrast to most freshwater fish, very active during winter even below ice cover . Larvae feed on drifting invertebrates or zooplankton . Juveniles and adults feed on large invertebrates and small fish.[7].

List of Habitats:

•     5     Wetlands (inland)   
  
•     5.1     Wetlands (inland) - Permanent Rivers/Streams/Creeks (includes waterfalls )   
  
•     5.5     Wetlands (inland) - Permanent Freshwater Lakes (over 8ha)

Biology

Diet

Smaller individuals feed on insect larvae, crayfish, mollusks and other invertebrates with a changing preference for fishes in larger individuals[5].
