Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (-0.15505 - 0.19495), b=3.01 (2.92 - 3.10), based on all LWR estimates for this BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-4).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100) .
