Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.6 - 19.1, mean 16.4 °C (based on 76 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00501 - 0.01740), b=3.08 (2.92 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Assuming tm=1).
Prior r = 0.21, 95% CL = 0.14 - 0.32, Based on 1 data-limited stock assessment.
