Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00552 - 0.01438), b=3.08 (2.95 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.22 se; based on food items.

Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (K=0.28; tm=3-5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
