Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 1 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00789 - 0.01390), b=3.06 (2.98 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.0 se; Based on food items.
Generation time: 11.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.1).
Fishing vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
