Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00891 (0.00822 - 0.00966), b=3.07 (3.05 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.7 ±0.4 se; based on diet studies. |
| Generation time | 3.0 (2.2 - 6.7) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=23; K=0.1-0.7). |
| Rate of population increase | Prior r = 0.70, 95% CL = 0.46 - 1.05, Based on 2 data-limited stock assessments. |
