Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.4 - 8.5, mean 5.2 °C (based on 189 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00141 - 0.00980), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
