Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03071 (-0.12774 - 0.18916), b=2.88 (2.79 - 2.98), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278):  2.7   ±0.00 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
