Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00858 (-0.17455 - 0.19172), b=3.08 (2.98 - 3.18), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100) .
