Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00300 - 0.01523), b=3.17 (2.98 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.07 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tm=1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
