Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.7 - 29, mean 28 (based on 1144 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00802 - 0.02069), b=3.12 (2.99 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (K=0.93-1.80).

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

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): High.
