Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 7.3 - 15.7, mean 10.7 (based on 656 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00046 (0.00020 - 0.00105), b=3.12 (2.92 - 3.32), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.8 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming tmax>10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Benthodesmus tenuis (Günther, 1877)
