Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.8 - 28.3, mean 27.5 (based on 517 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00447 - 0.01286), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tm=3-4; Fec=80,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Very high.
