Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 189 [102, 390] mg/100g; Iron = 1.72 [0.92, 3.52] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.4, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.403 [0.137, 1.151] g/100g; Selenium = 57.9 [22.6, 142.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.8 [9.9, 139.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.05 [2.01, 4.68] mg/100g (wet weight);
