Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 15.6 - 26.5, mean 23.5 (based on 180 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00324 (0.00142 - 0.00736), b=3.17 (2.99 - 3.35), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Tm=9-26; Tmax=33).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (79 of 100).
