Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index
(Ref. 82804)
PD50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight a=0.00741 (0.00346 - 0.01589), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level
(Ref. 69278)
3.0   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience
(Ref. 120179)
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability
(Ref. 59153)
Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
