Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14 - 25.4, mean 17.4 °C (based on 324 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
