Etymology: Amia: Greek, amia = a kind of shark (Ref. 45335);  calva: calva (Latin) = smooth or 'the bald scalp of the head', probably referring to the smooth appearance of the head of live specimens (Ref. 46234).

生物学特性     字汇 (例如 epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); It inhabits swamps, sloughs, lakes, and pools and backwaters of lowland streams (Ref. 86798). It is usually found near vegetation (Ref. 86798). Air-breather that can withstand high temperatures, which enables it to survive in stagnant areas; even known to aestivate; lethal temperature is 35.2°C (Ref. 46234). A voracious and opportunist feeder, subsisting on fishes including other sport fishes, frogs, crayfish, insects, and shrimps. It uses scent as much as sight and captures food by means of gulping water. Small juveniles eat microcrustaceans and insects (Ref. 93252). Males are always smaller than females which live longer. Apparently somewhat migratory during spawning season (Ref. 4639). Eggs are adhesive, attached to decaying vegetation and upright weeds (Ref. 4639). Larvae are found in nest, remaining attached to roots or lying on bottom until adhesive organ is absorbed, thereafter in tight "swarm" guarded by male parent outside nest (Ref. 4639). A 'living fossil' and lone survivor species of Family Amiidae.

发现于了沼泽的, 长满植物的湖泊与河。 能抵抗高的温度的呼吸空气的鱼, 这使它能够在污浊的区域中存活; 甚至知道夏眠; 致命的温度是 35.2 ¢ aC 。 (参考文献 46234) 一狼吞虎咽的与机会主义者捕食者, 它捕食鱼类包括其他的垂钓用鱼,青蛙,小龙虾,昆虫与虾。 它嗅觉与视觉一样灵敏而且捕获食物的方法是大口地吞水。 雄性总是比活的较长的雌性更小。 显然地略微回游的在产卵季节的时候.(参考文献 4639) 卵是聚集在一起的, 依附于腐烂的植物与直立的杂草。 (参考文献 4639) 仔鱼被发现于巢, 保持依附于根了或者栖息于底部直到黏着器官被吸收, 其后在紧的 " 成群 " 中在巢以外由雄鱼父母保卫了.(参考文献 4639) 一个 ' 活化石' 与弓鳍鱼科的孤单幸存鱼种。

Life cycle and mating behavior 成熟度 | 繁殖 | 产卵场 | | 孕卵数 | 仔鱼

Males build and guard nest and young, usually nesting in colonies, and clearing out vegetation for the nest (Refs. 205, 34296, 34297, 3672). Most active at twilight and dawn (Ref. 34297); spawn at night (Ref. 34296). Eggs hatch in 9 days; newly hatched young measuring 8 mm (Ref. 34297). Larvae are guarded by the male parent until they are able to swim freely (Ref. 205).北美洲: 聖勞倫斯河, 魁北克的 Champlain湖流域與佛蒙特州向西越過安大略省南部到明尼蘇達州的密西西比流域。

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 2.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00437 (0.00169 - 0.01126), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
营养阶层 (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.67 se; based on food items.
回复力 (Ref. 120179):  低的, 最小族群倍增时间4.5 - 14 年 (K=0.14; tm=3-5; tmax=13; Fec=23,600).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
