Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03548 (0.01700 - 0.07404), b=2.81 (2.62 - 3.00), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Fec assumed to be > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 52 [23, 121] mg/100g; Iron = 0.468 [0.193, 1.057] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.3, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.484 [0.220, 1.036] g/100g; Selenium = 13.1 [6.5, 28.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.93 [2.50, 40.30] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.645 [0.446, 1.025] mg/100g (wet weight);
