Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 16.2 - 20.2, mean 19.6 (based on 6 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00120 (0.00069 - 0.00209), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=17.9; tm=5.3; K=0.178).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (59 of 100) .
