Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.01260 - 0.01737), b=2.99 (2.95 - 3.03), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tm<1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
