Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03162 (0.02336 - 0.04281), b=2.99 (2.90 - 3.08), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.5 ±0.22 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tm=7; tmax=28).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (55 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
