Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -1.5 - 4.8, mean -0.5 °C (based on 1722 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00282 (0.00150 - 0.00530), b=3.19 (3.01 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.26 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tmax=12).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100).
