Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 0.8 - 7, mean 4.1 °C (based on 300 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 1.2500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.01099 - 0.03305), b=2.99 (2.83 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.5   ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 14.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (K=0.07; tmax=12).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (85 of 100). 🛈
