a=0.00525 (0.00238 - 0.01156), b=3.15 (2.96 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
Trophic level
(Ref. 69278) |
3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
Resilience
(Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
Fishing Vulnerability
(Ref. 59153) |
Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈 |
