Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 25.9 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 118 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00575 - 0.03468), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.9   ±0.63 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
