Estimates based on models

Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5781 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00234 (0.00105 - 0.00523), b=3.18 (2.97 - 3.39), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Baixo, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 4,5 - 14 anos (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (55 of 100).
