Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00824 (-0.15955 - 0.17603), b=3.10 (3.01 - 3.19), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.55 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100) .
