Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00792 - 0.01385), b=3.01 (2.93 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (tmax=10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
