Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.6 - 26.7, mean 25.8 °C (based on 16 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.42 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (tmax > 10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
