Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Referencia 123201): 5.4 - 14.9, mean 9 °C (based on 1405 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804):  PD50 = 0.6270   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278):  3.3   ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Referencia 120179):  Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Assuming tmax>10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (86 of 100). 🛈
