Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 23.4 - 29.2, mean 27.5 °C (based on 36001 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00456 - 0.01516), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.7   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Generation time: 1.2 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.8). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium .
