Description

[ Back to top ]

Habitat

Inhabits warm lakes and pools with weed and mud bottom . Tolerant of low oxygen saturations. In winter, it stays in the mud without feeding itself[1].

Typically found in a lake at a mean distance from sea level of 82 meters (269 feet).[2]

Ecology: Habitat :
Typically in shallow, densely vegetated lakes and backwaters . Often overwinters buried in mud . Spawns among dense vegetation in still water .

Biology :
Lives up to 20 years. Spawns for the first time at 2-6 years and 70-250 mm SL , females a year later than males. Pelvic rays more robust , longer and extending beyond anus in male. Spawns in May-October, in Central Europe usually in June-July, at temperatures above 19°C, mostly at 22-24°C. Several males follow each female, which releases eggs in several portions above vegetation. Females may spawn 1-9 times each year, every 11-15 days, if suitably warm weather persists. High embryonic mortality observed when temperature fluctuates strongly. Larvae and juveniles restricted to dense vegetation. Tolerant of low oxygen concentrations and salinities up to 12 ‰. Feeds on detritus , benthic animals and plant material . Adults often feed predominantly on molluscs .[3].

Diet

Omnivorous . Feeds on bottom invertebrates and aquatic insect larvae. Young also feed on algae[4].

Reproduction

Breeds in shallow water among dense vegetation, laying numerous sticky green eggs . After hatching the larvae remain attached to the plants for several days.
