Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00729 - 0.01195), b=3.09 (3.02 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec=500).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 459 [283, 811] mg/100g; Iron = 3.91 [2.27, 6.63] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [16.5, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.545 [0.233, 1.341] g/100g; Selenium = 21 [9, 50] μg/100g; VitaminA = 134 [69, 261] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.4 [2.5, 4.4] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
