Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 4.2 - 11.4, mean 6.6 (based on 1170 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), 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.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (19 of 100).
