Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 16 - 22.5, mean 17.9 °C (based on 15 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5012   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
