Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00347 (0.00168 - 0.00717), b=3.08 (2.90 - 3.26), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec assumed to be <10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100) .
