Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 12.9 - 26.4, mean 19 °C (based on 678 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100). 🛈
