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=0.02042 (0.01081 - 0.03858), b=2.99 (2.83 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
| Generation time | 3.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.30; tmax=4). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100). 🛈 |
