Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.4 - 28.2, mean 26.2 °C (based on 472 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03548 (0.01723 - 0.07305), b=2.81 (2.62 - 3.00), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100). 🛈
