Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.9 - 11.4, mean 8 °C (based on 512 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00237 - 0.01161), b=3.15 (2.96 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.58 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fecundity assumed < 100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
