Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14 - 20.1, mean 17.1 °C (based on 26 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00835 - 0.01197), b=3.00 (2.95 - 3.05), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=2-3; Fec>5,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
