Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.4 - 19.5, mean 10.8 (based on 1350 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00617 (0.00515 - 0.00738), b=3.08 (3.03 - 3.13), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=3; tmax=7.5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
