Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 19.4 - 28.2, mean 26.2 °C (based on 810 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00513 (0.00345 - 0.00762), b=3.10 (2.98 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.3   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.40-0.88).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
