Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00462 - 0.01191), b=3.06 (2.93 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  4.4   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
