Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.6 - 15.8, mean 11.4 (based on 39 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5157 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).
