Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.4 - 14.8, mean 9.8 °C (based on 296 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00339 (0.00121 - 0.00952), b=3.10 (2.86 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 1.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=4; k >0.3; Fec=300-500 (batch fecundity)).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (19 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):   (0 of 100) .
