Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 12.6 - 19.5, mean 16.3 (based on 19 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00645 - 0.02141), b=3.02 (2.87 - 3.17), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm=5-6; tmax=27; K=0.07-0.08; Fec=11,000-1 million).
Prior r = 0.22, 95% CL = 0.15 - 0.33, Based on 2 stock assessments.
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100) .
