More on author: Cuvier . Issue Often misidentified as Pungitius pungitius (Linnaeus, 1758) that it replaces in northwesternmost Europe.. Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; freshwater; brackish; benthopelagic. Temperate Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Euorope: coastal areas of western Europe from Netherlands to the Garonne drainage (France), Ireland and southern Great Britain. Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 8.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 59043 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 9. This species is redescribed and is distinguished from congeners by the absence of keel as the only diagnostic character; with lower number of dorsal spines 9 (vs. 10 in P. pungitius ); head rounded with a concave snout (specimens longer than 35 mm SL) accentuating the impression of fleshy lips; dorsal spines 8-9; anal soft rays 7-11; scutes on the caudal peduncle 0-4; pectoral-fin rays 10-11. Colouration: body generally bright green with dark tints, covered by blackish blotches, which are absent on the pectoral and abdominal regions (Ref. 125067 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Adults inhabit shallow still water with dense vegetation. Feed predominantly on zooplankton, small crustaceans and benthic insects. Spawn for the first time at 1 year of age. Spawning takes place in April-June (Ref. 59043 ). Males build, guard and aerate the nest where the eggs are deposited (Ref. 205 ). Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae "Males build a nest hanging to aquatic vegetation and take care of eggs and larvae. Eggs hatch in 10-20 days. Dies at end of spawning season" (Ref. 59043 ). Main reference Upload your references | References | Coordinator | Collaborators Kottelat, M. and J. Freyhof , 2007.
