Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00992 - 0.02310), b=3.03 (2.91 - 3.15), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.5 ±0.80 se; based on food items.

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Muito baixo, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população maior que 14 anos (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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

Categoria de preço (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
