Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00519 - 0.00881), b=3.05 (2.98 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.73 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
