At a population size of 400,

At a population size of 400, they're under the suggested minimum population size of 500 for long-term avoidance of inbreeding effects. However, since 50 is the short-term minimum population size, they might be good for a little while longer… (This is known as the 50/500 rule.)

As for intermediate time (with a better definition), John Moore suggested that a population size of about 160 would be sufficient for about 10 generations.
