Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 0.6 - 7.2, mean 3.4 (based on 687 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5938 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00292 - 0.01365), b=3.20 (3.00 - 3.40), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (K=0.08-0.10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (78 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
