Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00760 - 0.02184), b=3.05 (2.91 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (tm<1; mutiple spawning per year; Fec=10--300).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
