Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 19.7 - 25.4, mean 22.9 °C (based on 8 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00674 - 0.03099), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): (0 of 100) .
