Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 15.2 - 26.9, mean 22.1 (based on 1116 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6875 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
