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=0.00740 (-0.13176 - 0.14655), b=2.97 (2.89 - 3.05), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec=459).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100) .
