Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.3 - 19.8, mean 14.2 (based on 93 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00243 - 0.00821), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.63 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (K=0.39(?); assuming tm>=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
