Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 430 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00406 - 0.01233), b=2.82 (2.67 - 2.97), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 2.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (K=0.41-0.48; tmax=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
