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 (0.00544 - 0.02785), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  2.4   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 831 [424, 1,492] mg/100g; Iron = 3.49 [2.06, 6.04] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [16.4, 18.6] %; Omega3 = 0.515 [0.175, 1.605] g/100g; Selenium = 33 [10, 115] μg/100g; VitaminA = 140 [62, 312] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.83 [3.23, 7.34] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
