Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; catadromous; freshwater; brackish; depth range 0 - 17 m (Ref. 101283). Temperate, preferred 11°C (Ref. 107945); 61°N - 27°N, 14°W - 42°E
Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Introduced in Baltic and Black Sea.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 7.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 8)
Common in European estuaries. Mostly inhabits freshwater throughout the year but migrates to estuarine brackish waters to reproduce (Ref. 82147).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Inhabits freshwater but migrates o estuarine brackish waters to reproduce. The development of the whole larval stage takes place in mid estuarine waters (Ref. 82147); juveniles migrates back to freshwater (Ref. 82145).
