Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 6.8 - 10.1, mean 7.9 (based on 246 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00442 - 0.02163), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=2; tm=1-2; Fec=270).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
