Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.9 - 29, mean 28.1 (based on 882 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00675 - 0.02347), b=2.99 (2.83 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Assuming Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
