Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18 - 28.3, mean 25.3 °C (based on 18 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00047 (0.00025 - 0.00089), b=3.28 (3.13 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.8 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (tmax=30).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Medium.
