Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00753 - 0.01329), b=3.09 (3.01 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.8   ±0.61 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=2-3; rel. Fec=1,000; K=0.21-0.23; tmax=9).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (73 of 100). 🛈
