Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 10.3 - 23, mean 15.3 (based on 756 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7539 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00417 (0.00157 - 0.01110), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.57 se; based on food items.

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