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=0.00708 (0.00604 - 0.00830), b=3.07 (3.02 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.8 ±0.6 se; based on diet studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
High vulnerability (64 of 100). 🛈 |
