Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.5 - 16.6, mean 11.4 °C (based on 142 cells).

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00058 - 0.00137), b=3.30 (3.17 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 4,5-14 jaar (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Medium.
