					Estimates based on models				
				
				
				Preferred temperature (Ref. 
123201): 20.7 - 25, mean 23.4 °C (based on 84 cells).
				
				
					
					Phylogenetic diversity index  (Ref. 
82804):  PD
50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].					
													Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00410 - 0.01937), b=2.78 (2.60 - 2.96), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 
93245).
					
					Trophic level  (Ref. 
69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives					
											
				
				
										
						Resilience  (Ref. 
120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).					
											
				
									
					Fishing Vulnerability  (Ref. 
59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
