Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 3.8 - 10.9, mean 5.9 °C (based on 1774 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00132 (0.00071 - 0.00244), b=3.20 (3.03 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.3   ±0.75 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
