Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.01023 (0.00659 - 0.01589), b=3.10 (2.97 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.3 ±0.3 se; based on diet studies. |
| Generation time | 36.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (tmax=157; k=0.04). |
| Rate of population increase | Prior r = 0.04, 95% CL = 0.03 - 0.06, Based on 2 full stock assessments. |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
High to very high vulnerability (74 of 100). 🛈 |
