Estimates of some properties based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00439 - 0.01310), b=3.08 (2.92 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.62 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=3; Fec= 3 million).

Prior r = 0.47, 2 SD range = 0.27 - 0.82, log(r) = -0.76, SD log(r) = 0.28, Based on: 1 K, 2 tgen, 2 Fec records

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (60 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
