Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00788 (-0.10672 - 0.12247), b=3.08 (3.01 - 3.16), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.2 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.12-0.13).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (65 of 100) .
