Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805)
 PD50 = 0.5005 many relatives (e.g. carps) 0.5 - 2.0 few relatives (e.g. lungfishes)

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278)
 2.2   ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278)
 Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.)

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153)
 High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100)
