Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.9 - 19.4, mean 17.4 °C (based on 5 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.2539 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00474 - 0.02910), b=3.04 (2.83 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.62 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (84 of 100).
