Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 10.8 - 19.5, mean 14.5 °C (based on 96 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.00949 - 0.03182), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.71 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 3.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (K=0.32; tm=2-3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
