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=0.01498 (-0.13847 - 0.16842), b=3.05 (2.97 - 3.13), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100) .
