Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 23.4 - 27.6, mean 26.5 (based on 124 cells).
Resilience (Ref. 69278) High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.06-1.1).
Prior r = 0.93, 95% CL = 0.62 - 1.40, Based on 6 data-limited stock assessments.
Vulnerability (Ref. 71543): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
