Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 7.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 8)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

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).
