Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00384 - 0.01800), b=2.95 (2.77 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.3 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 = 156 [64, 465] mg/100g; Iron = 1.67 [0.63, 4.33] mg/100g; Protein = 16.1 [14.0, 18.0] %; Omega3 = 0.289 [0.093, 0.833] g/100g; Selenium = 36.8 [12.9, 106.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 183 [52, 632] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.71 [1.74, 4.32] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
