Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 3 - 12.3, mean 7.1 (based on 2015 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.41 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
