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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00269 (0.00167 - 0.00434), b=3.24 (3.11 - 3.37), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (tm=8-14; Fec=29,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (87 of 100).
