a=0.01413 (0.00578 - 0.03452), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100). |
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
