Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 15.6 - 26.5, mean 23.5 °C (based on 180 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00295 (0.00131 - 0.00665), b=3.18 (3.00 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278):  3.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 12.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resiliencia (Referencia 120179):  Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (tm=9-26; tmax=33).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (79 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
