Classification / Names Common names | Synonyms | Catalog of Fishes(genus, species) | ITIS | CoL | WoRMS | Cloffa
Teleostei (teleosts) > Clupeiformes (Herrings) > Dorosomatidae (Gizzard shads and sardinellas)
Etymology: Gonialosa: Greek, gonio = angle + Latin, alausa = a fish cited by Ausonius and Latin, halec = pickle, dealing with the Greek word hals = salt; it is also the old Saxon name for shad = "alli" ; 1591 (Ref. 45335).

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 22 - 28. Belly with 16 to 19 (usually 17 or 18) + 10 to 12 (usually 11), total 27 to 30 (usually 29) scutes. Upper jaw expanded at tip, but distinctly turned down, second supra-maxilla small (about half length of pre-maxilla). Scales moderate or small; pre-dorsal scales paired and overlapping in midline. Gill rakers fine and numerous (90 to 180 on lower arch). A dark spot behind gill opening.
Occurs in rivers, pools and lakes. More data needed.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00415 - 0.01826), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
