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=0.01072 (0.00528 - 0.02176), b=2.97 (2.79 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.41 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tmax=9).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
