Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 13 - 22.6, mean 17.9 (based on 88 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5004 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00156 - 0.01065), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
