Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 21.8, mean 16.5 °C (based on 50 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00037 (0.00023 - 0.00060), b=3.24 (3.11 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Medium.
