Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 23.2 - 28, mean 25.6 °C (based on 474 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00641 - 0.01792), b=2.85 (2.71 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Generation time: 3.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2
growth studies.
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (K=0.28; tm=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
