Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 2.3 - 5.9, mean 4.4 (based on 57 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00451 - 0.02668), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Médio, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Assuming tm=2-4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Melamphaes microps (Günther, 1878)
