Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.9 - 12.8, mean 8.3 °C (based on 194 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00846 - 0.04703), b=3.01 (2.80 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.87 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 13.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (tm=5.2-6.3; Tmax=38; K=0.04-0.07).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (69 of 100).
