Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01537 - 0.04300), b=2.94 (2.80 - 3.08), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Assuming Tmax >3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).

Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus (Weber, 1991)
