Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00394 - 0.00923), b=2.96 (2.84 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Fec = 20,064).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 82.3 [25.9, 180.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.933 [0.496, 1.681] mg/100g; Protein = 16.8 [15.2, 18.4] %; Omega3 = 0.116 [0.056, 0.243] g/100g; Selenium = 84.6 [43.7, 171.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 12.4 [3.3, 41.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.333 [0.211, 0.550] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
