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=0.01095 (-0.15802 - 0.17993), b=3.07 (2.98 - 3.16), based on LWR estimates for this genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
