Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 18.3 - 22.6, mean 20.6 °C (based on 103 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00175 - 0.01142), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.3   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Fec > 100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
