Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.3 - 28.1, mean 27.2 °C (based on 814 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00028 (0.00012 - 0.00065), b=3.21 (3.03 - 3.39), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (tmax=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
