Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.6 - 28.6, mean 23.4 °C (based on 122 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00085 (0.00045 - 0.00162), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.60 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 3.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (K=0.30).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (45 of 100).
