Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00598 - 0.02775), b=2.86 (2.68 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Referencia 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Assuming Fec < 5,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (19 of 100). 🛈
