Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 10.8 - 19.3, mean 13.5 °C (based on 189 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5703 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00468 - 0.03232), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
