Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 21.3 - 28, mean 26.3 (based on 114 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

लौटाव (Ref. 120179): निम्न, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी होने का समय 4.5 - 14 वर्ष। (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (84 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
