Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 17.8 - 27.7, mean 19.6 (based on 755 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.01030 - 0.01279), b=3.03 (3.00 - 3.06), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.35 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=2-4; tmax=11; K=0.20).

Prior r = 0.78, 95% CL = 0.52 - 1.17, Based on 3 data-limited stock assessments.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
