Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00451 - 0.01844), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 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 (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 108 [40, 221] mg/100g; Iron = 1.07 [0.58, 2.06] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.6, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.435 [0.271, 0.751] g/100g; Selenium = 22.7 [11.9, 46.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 20.1 [6.4, 74.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.78 [0.54, 1.17] mg/100g (wet weight);
