Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.7 - 27.9, mean 25.6 °C (based on 430 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00449 - 0.00888), b=3.14 (3.04 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.68 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
