Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 11.1 - 23.2, mean 18.4 °C (based on 218 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00856 - 0.02331), b=3.07 (2.93 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.28 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=1).

Prior r = 0.49, 95% CL = 0.32 - 0.73, Based on 1 stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100) .

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100) .
