Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index
(Ref. 82804) 		PD50 = 1.0312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level
(Ref. 69278) 		3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience
(Ref. 120179) 		Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability
(Ref. 59153) 		Moderate to high vulnerability (53 of 100). 🛈
