Length at first maturity / Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 7251); common length : 11.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 12193); edad máxima reportada: 7 años (Ref. 51483)
Adults inhabit coastal waters. They also enter fresh waters, going hundreds of miles upstream. Migrate downstream to spawn in spring (Ref. 36739). Larvae move upstream after hatching (Ref. 36739). Minimum depth reported taken from Ref. 57178.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 11.4 - 24.5, mean 17.2 °C (based on 60 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
