Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 18.1 - 27.9, mean 25.2 (based on 104 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00646 - 0.01776), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.5; tm=1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): High to very high vulnerability (75 of 100).
