Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5664 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00617 (0.00249 - 0.01527), b=3.12 (2.90 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
2.9 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈 |
