Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00930 - 0.01418), b=3.08 (3.02 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.53 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Assuming tm=3-4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (45 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
