Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00331 (0.00157 - 0.00697), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.17 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
