Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00457 - 0.01661), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.32 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=3; Fec=684).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
