Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01495 (-0.19103 - 0.22093), b=3.03 (2.91 - 3.14), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.34 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec is at least about 100 eggs (Ref. 1672)).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
