Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 8.1, range 7 - 8.9 cm
Max length : 8.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 13674); common length : 6.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 13674)

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00241 - 0.01141), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec = 1,346).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
