Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 10.4 - 22.6, mean 18.2 °C (based on 218 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00417 - 0.02752), b=3.01 (2.79 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.2   ±0.63 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 9.1 ( 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 (K=0.12).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100). 🛈
