Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.6 - 29.3, mean 27.2 (based on 238 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00439 - 0.03002), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; based on food items.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
