Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 22.6 - 28.4, mean 27.2 (based on 887 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.01602 - 0.02988), b=2.91 (2.85 - 2.97), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.54 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.68).

Prior r = 1.19, 95% CL = 0.79 - 1.79, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.
