Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.9 - 29.1, mean 28.4 °C (based on 526 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00496 - 0.02912), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 2.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.55; Assuming Fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
