Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00675 - 0.02347), b=2.94 (2.79 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec = 15).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
