Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 18 - 25.3, mean 22.6 (based on 38 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00391 - 0.01066), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (K=0.14; tmax=15).

Prior r = 0.33, 95% CL = 0.22 - 0.49, Based on 1 full stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
