Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.3 - 16.5, mean 12.2 °C (based on 45 cells).
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00139 - 0.00497), b=3.21 (3.04 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Zeer laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd meer dan 14 jaar (Fec = 1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (73 of 100).
