Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00479 (0.00303 - 0.00755), b=3.25 (3.12 - 3.38), based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.2 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=10; K=0.28; Fec=33,300).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (42 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
