Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 20.9 - 28.4, mean 27.4 (based on 434 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00357 - 0.00846), b=3.07 (2.94 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.8 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.9-1.2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).
