Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.2 - 29.3, mean 28.5 °C (based on 1258 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100).
