Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 9.7 - 18.4, mean 13.4 (based on 113 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00171 - 0.00737), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec=21-22).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
