Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.9 - 23.2, mean 20.4 °C (based on 80 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.00933 - 0.05373), b=2.90 (2.72 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Assuming tm=2-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
