Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201
): 11.5 - 23.5, mean 17.7 °C (based on 364 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804
): PD
50
= 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00621 - 0.01402), b=2.88 (2.77 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245
).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 3.6 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 1.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179
): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=1; tmax=4; K=0.66).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153
): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
