Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 8.8 - 16.1, mean 13.9 (based on 123 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.01019 - 0.01485), b=3.02 (2.97 - 3.07), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.70 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tm=6-8; K=0.07-0.13; tmax=18).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
