Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.8 - 8.2, mean 3.2 °C (based on 7820 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00171 - 0.00885), b=2.99 (2.79 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.13 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Assuming tm>1; Fec=2,000-10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
