Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 10.4 - 22.6, mean 18.2 (based on 218 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00415 - 0.02764), b=3.02 (2.80 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.63 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (K=0.12).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100).
