Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1128 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00515 - 0.01282), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 1.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.9-1.0).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (19 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
