Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00929 - 0.01630), b=3.01 (2.96 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.5   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 1.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=1.00-1.10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 633 [338, 1,048] mg/100g; Iron = 3.48 [2.16, 5.89] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [16.8, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.47 [0.17, 1.36] g/100g; Selenium = 46.9 [14.4, 149.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 65.7 [31.0, 138.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.92 [2.74, 5.76] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
