Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 25 - 29.4, mean 27.6 °C (based on 156 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00674 - 0.03099), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.3   ±0.12 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100). 🛈
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Very high vulnerability (93 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
