Estimates based on models

Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02042 (0.00927 - 0.04498), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.32 se; based on food items.

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): médio(a), tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Fec=500).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).

Categoria de preço (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
