Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.7502 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00872 (-0.12521 - 0.14265), b=3.08 (2.99 - 3.17), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.28; tm=3.6).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.
