Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.6 - 13.8, mean 8.9 (based on 755 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01150 - 0.03306), b=2.98 (2.83 - 3.13), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (tmax=104).

Prior r = 0.14, 95% CL = 0.09 - 0.21, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (69 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Medium.
