Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 7.9 - 23.4, mean 14.7 °C (based on 94 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00573 - 0.00875), b=3.14 (3.08 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm=5-8).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
