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=0.01950 (0.01145 - 0.03321), b=2.98 (2.83 - 3.13), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.3 se; Based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 69278): Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (tmax=104).

Prior r = 0.07, 2 SD range = 0.02 - 0.27, log(r) = -2.66, SD log(r) = 0.66, Based on: 1 M, 1 K, 2 tgen, 1 tmax, records

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (70 of 100) .

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.
