Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 14.4 - 20.6, mean 16.7 (based on 46 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.01188 - 0.01841), b=3.03 (3.00 - 3.06), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.48 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.11-0.23; tmax=7).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
