Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00803 - 0.02267), b=3.08 (2.94 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.8 ±0.28 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tm<1; multiple spawning per year; Fec=300).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Barbodes semifasciolatus (Günther, 1868)
