Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 3.4 - 9.5, mean 5.8 (based on 253 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00418 - 0.01508), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.59 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tm=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Very high.
