Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.8 - 29.3, mean 27.2 (based on 238 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01711 - 0.05582), b=2.89 (2.74 - 3.04), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.23 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Prior r = 0.28, 95% CL = 0.19 - 0.42, Based on 2 data-limited stock assessments.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (85 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.
