Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 25 - 29.1, mean 28.5 (based on 860 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00856 - 0.02440), b=2.91 (2.77 - 3.05), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.43 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.8).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
