Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5313 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00182 - 0.00758), b=3.17 (2.99 - 3.35), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tm=1; tmax=1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
