Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.8 - 26.2, mean 22.1 °C (based on 44 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5003 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
