Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.7 - 20.7, mean 15.6 °C (based on 39 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00032 (0.00020 - 0.00051), 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

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (56 of 100).
