Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 29.2, mean 27.4 °C (based on 519 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00584 - 0.01031), b=3.21 (3.15 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tm=1 and Fec < 1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
