Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00299 - 0.01462), b=3.16 (2.97 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 64.1 [20.8, 194.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.509 [0.222, 1.490] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.08, 0.66] g/100g; Selenium = 9.49 [3.09, 26.34] μg/100g; VitaminA = 86.3 [9.6, 685.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.696 [0.374, 1.423] mg/100g (wet weight);
