Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 20.1 - 24.6, mean 22.7 °C (based on 62 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00154 - 0.00938), 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 (Ref. 69278 ):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=3-4). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
