Estimates based on models

Resilience (Ref. 69278) High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.29-2.28).
Prior r = 1.11, 95% CL = 0.73 - 1.67, Based on 4 data-limited stock assessments.
Vulnerability (Ref. 71543): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
