Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 26.4 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 1238 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100). 🛈
