Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00427 (0.00180 - 0.01010), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.4   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100). 🛈
