Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.9 - 27.7, mean 23.8 °C (based on 194 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00427 (0.00183 - 0.00992), 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): 4.2 ±0.7 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec=10; gestation about 15 months).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (76 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.
