Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.7 - 29.1, mean 28.1 (based on 1436 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01549 (0.00784 - 0.03062), b=2.99 (2.83 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100) .
