Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.7 - 24.5, mean 16.7 °C (based on 72 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01333 - 0.03937), b=3.21 (3.05 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.38-0.59; tm=1.7; tmax=7).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).
