Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5044 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00492 (-0.04482 - 0.05465), b=3.13 (3.10 - 3.17), based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.60 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-3).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100) .
