Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.4 - 5.2, mean 3.2 (based on 91 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00458 - 0.01316), b=3.07 (2.92 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.42 se; based on food items.
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (K=0.14 (very tentative estimate)).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100).
