Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Fec assumed to be > 10,000). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈 |
