Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4 - 13.5, mean 7.9 °C (based on 2064 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00157 - 0.00697), b=2.89 (2.71 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.28 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec<2000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
