Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.1 - 13.9, mean 8.5 °C (based on 654 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5352   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00417 (0.00157 - 0.01110), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
