Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 24.7 - 29.1, mean 28 °C (based on 1996 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.01020 - 0.02960), b=2.95 (2.81 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.73 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax = 9). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high .
