Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 5.8 - 9.5, mean 7.8 °C (based on 64 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00499 - 0.02004), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (tmax=116). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium .
