Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.00849 - 0.04084), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref. 120179):  Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tm<1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
