Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 12.2 - 27.1, mean 19.4 (based on 1424 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7510 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.51 se; based on food items.

लौटाव (Ref. 120179): निम्न, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी होने का समय 4.5 - 14 वर्ष। (Assuming tmax>10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
