Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00703 - 0.00940), b=3.10 (3.06 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.43 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec < 10,000). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (13 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown .
