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=0.01000 (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): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 233 [93, 573] mg/100g; Iron = 1.26 [0.55, 2.94] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.458 [0.191, 1.322] g/100g; Selenium = 27.9 [11.4, 77.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31.3 [9.3, 102.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.71, 1.98] mg/100g (wet weight);
