Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Occurs in shallow creeks with sandy-muddy substrate rich in plant debris. Rarely found in principal river beds (Ref. 27188). Although not abundant, it appears to be well-adapted to its environment as evidenced by its leopard outfit which enables it to camouflage itself. The isolated captures suggest a solitary existence. Unlike the Tatia which lives mostly in estuaries, G. leopardum appears to live mainly in the upstream portion of rivers (Ref. 35381).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
