Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.7 - 9.8, mean 6.1 (based on 97 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00287 - 0.01207), b=3.23 (3.06 - 3.40), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.62 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2, fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
