Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00809 - 0.02051), b=3.06 (2.93 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.53 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (tm=6; tmax=33).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100).
