Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 21.5 - 26.9, mean 24.7 °C (based on 164 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5664 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00363 (0.00147 - 0.00899), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 4.2 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Zeer laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd meer dan 14 jaar (Fec is assumed to be <10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High vulnerability (55 of 100).
