Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 7.4 - 15.6, mean 12.3 °C (based on 83 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6289   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00135 (0.00062 - 0.00294), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.64 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming Fec <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (78 of 100).
