Estimates of some properties based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 26.3 - 29.2, mean 28.7 (based on 819 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to
2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00898 - 0.04435), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm Total
Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.3 ±0.1 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years
(Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100) .
