Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.4 - 8.3, mean 5.3 °C (based on 292 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5313 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00347 (0.00144 - 0.00836), b=3.15 (2.94 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 4.6 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
