Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 14 - 17.1, mean 15.6 (based on 45 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5088   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00571 - 0.02773), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
