Table 7. Alexander’s sensitivity analysis results scaled to unity showing the attributes ranked according to sensitivity.

Rank	Attribute	Alexander’s S value
1	Exploitation ratio (ER)	1.0000
2	Growth coefficient (K)	0.7285
3	Asymptotic length (L∞)	0.7274
4	Coastal productivity index (CPI)	0.5228
5	Geographic distribution (Dist)	0.5056
6	Number of spawning months (NSM)	0.5050
7	Fecundity (FC)	0.5017
8	Body length depth ratio (BLD)	0.4908
9	Mean trophic level (MTL)	0.4866
10	Gear susceptibility (G)	0.4751
11	Length at recruitment (Lr) /L∞ ratio	0.4444
12	Length at maturity (Lm)/L∞ ratio	0.4125

Rank 1 is the most sensitive attribute. Price attribute was not used in this analysis as they were direct input ranks.
