Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00741 (0.00645 - 0.00851), b=3.03 (2.99 - 3.07), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.49 se; based on food items. |
| Generation time | 3.9 (2.6 - 8.7) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 10 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=0.38-0.47). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100). 🛈 |
|
Price category (Ref. 80766) |
Very high. |
