Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00625 - 0.01271), b=3.06 (2.96 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.46 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (tmax=4; Fec=2,000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
