Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.2 - 2.2, mean 1.9 °C (based on 8 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5313 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00224 (0.00117 - 0.00427), b=3.25 (3.07 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec assumed to be < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
