50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00850 - 0.01624), b=3.04 (2.97 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.6 ±0.25 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (50 of 100).
