Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 9.7 - 18.4, mean 13.4 °C (based on 113 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00355 (0.00171 - 0.00737), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.5   ±0.62 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec=21-22). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
