Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 20.1 - 24.6, mean 22.7 °C (based on 62 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00153 - 0.00942), b=3.13 (2.91 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tm=3-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100). 🛈
