Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±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 = 228 [153, 371] mg/100g; Iron = 1.85 [1.26, 2.71] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [16.6, 18.0] %; Omega3 = 0.517 [0.216, 1.218] g/100g; Selenium = 70.4 [31.4, 150.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 73.9 [34.1, 150.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.4 [1.8, 3.3] mg/100g (wet weight);
