Length at first maturity / Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age

Maturity: L_m 12.0 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 39.7 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 107756); common length : 15.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3397)

Adults inhabit soft bottoms from the coastline to about 300 m depth, but rarely caught at depths greater than 200 m (Ref. 9537). They feed on small fish and crustaceans (Ref. 231).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 11.8 - 19.5, mean 15.2 (based on 256 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00469 - 0.00740), b=3.07 (3.00 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Τροφικό Επίπεδο (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.65 se; based on food items.

Ελαστικότητα (Ref. 120179): Μεσαίο(α), ελάχιστος χρόνος για διπλασιασμό πληθυσμού 1,4 - 4,4 έτη (K=0.26-0.30).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low vulnerability (7 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
