Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.2 - 10.6, mean 6.7 °C (based on 116 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00141 - 0.00976), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100).
