Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01479 (0.00888 - 0.02463), b=2.85 (2.71 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
| Generation time | 1.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (24 of 100). 🛈 |
