Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 16.3 - 19.4, mean 18.4 (based on 26 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00550 - 0.01202), b=3.09 (2.97 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.6 se; Based on diet studies.

Generation time: 10.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median LN(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Tmax=16; K=0.11).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (61 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
