Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00951 (-0.19424 - 0.21325), b=2.99679 (2.88596 - 3.10761), based on LWR estimates for this 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 = 100).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (15 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
