Discussion

  • mean tempetarue is guessed, varies considerably in desert climates

Facts

  • weight length relationship: Ww in g = 0.01072 * (TL in cm)^3.22 (Ref: fishbase)
  • length-length from photo: SL = 0.8 * TL (Ref: fishbase)
  • spawning occurs when temp exceeds 20 deg C, from April till October (Ref: ucdavis)
  • can live in sea water (but absent in WoRMS) (Ref: Scho1988)
