Os resultados do projeto MISTIC SEAS revelam que esta espécie se encontra em BEA nos Açores para o critério D1C1. Para os restantes critérios não existe informação suficiente ou foram considerados inadequados e por isso não foram avaliados, pelo que o BEA da espécie foi considerado desconhecido.

For assessment and integration of environmental status it is essential to collect a wider/diverse set of data, filling gaps for a precision assessment. the suggested integration rule OOAO (WG BEA, 2017) could offer a reliable and robust integration method if the status of each element, criterion, indicator could be assessed with a very high degree of confidence, this is rarely the case.
