Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00093 (0.00036 - 0.00242), b=3.05 (2.83 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Microphis caudocarinatus (Weber, 1907)
