Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 5.4 - 14.9, mean 9 (based on 1405 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6270 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.41 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Assuming tmax>10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (86 of 100).
