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=0.00288 (0.00172 - 0.00482), b=3.09 (2.94 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100). 🛈 |
