Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 18.1 - 28.8, mean 24 °C (based on 144 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00446 - 0.02457), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 6.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tmax=5-6;).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
