Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Réf. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00181 - 0.00834), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Réf. 69278):  2.5   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Réf. 120179):  Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Fec = 40).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
