Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.3 - 21, mean 10.1 (based on 54 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00663 - 0.02390), b=3.11 (2.95 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Assuming tm=1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).
