Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00286 - 0.00483), b=2.99 (2.93 - 3.05), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Fec>1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
