Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.3 - 19.5, mean 13.7 °C (based on 113 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00194 - 0.00745), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Fec assumed to be <100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
