Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): -1 - 7.1, mean 0.8 °C (based on 559 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00774 - 0.05639), b=3.03 (2.79 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax=3-10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
