Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (संदर्भ 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.02263 - 0.04219), b=3.00 (2.91 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (संदर्भ 69278):  2.5   ±0.22 se; based on food items.
लौटाव (संदर्भ 120179):  निम्न, न्यूनतम जनसंख्या दुगनी होने का समय 4.5 - 14 वर्ष। (tm=7; tmax=28).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (55 of 100). 🛈
