Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 0.7 - 9.7, mean 5.4 °C (based on 54 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00269 (0.00141 - 0.00516), b=3.22 (3.06 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.20 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 7.8 ( 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 (Tmax = 10; K= 0.14-0.39).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
