Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01091 (-0.26221 - 0.28403), b=3.06 (2.93 - 3.20), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.29 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) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
