Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 12.3 - 18.3, mean 15.9 °C (based on 114 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 1.0312 [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 BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
