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=0.00525 (0.00258 - 0.01066), b=3.22 (3.05 - 3.39), based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.25 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2-3).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
