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=0.01148 (0.00589 - 0.02239), b=3.18 (3.02 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
| Generation time | 4.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm=6; Fec=2,238). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). 🛈 |
