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=0.00708 (0.00316 - 0.01588), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 4.1 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 69278): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (39 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
