Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 25.9 - 28.4, mean 27 °C (based on 96 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00740 - 0.00892), b=3.07 (3.05 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.9   ±0.62 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.1 (1.8 - 2.2) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.5; Fec=112,523).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
