Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 59043)
Lacustrine. Gregarious, forms shoals. Spawns in September - February, depending on latitude and habitat, in flowing water in mid-autumn, in deep water in winter. Feeds on plankton in summer, may take benthic prey too. Migrates to spawn in bays at beginning of autumn and spawns over clean pebble or silt bottom at depths of 2-10 m (Ref. 59043).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00266 - 0.01086), b=3.22 (3.05 - 3.39), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100) .
