		The river reach is 32 km long and 25 m wide, with an elevation range of 274 -198 m a.s.l., a mean gradient of 0.2% and a mean annual flowof 7-8 m3 s-1.
		The suitability increment with respect to the increase of water depth is lower in the adults curve than in the juveniles curve, thus suggesting the greater tolerance of smaller individuals for shallow waters.
		Investigating the WUA response curves in a flow range more typical in a regulated river (from 0.7 to 28.3 m3 s-1) it should be noted that WUA resulting from bivariate models and univariate aggregation for adults are quite compatible, juvenile curve resulting to be peculiar.
