Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.9 - 28.3, mean 26.8 °C (based on 847 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02138 (0.01572 - 0.02907), b=2.89 (2.81 - 2.97), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 1.6 (1.2 - 1.8) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 12 growth studies.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (K=0.6-1.23).
