Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00344 - 0.03497), b=3.08 (2.83 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
