Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  4.1   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (78 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 26.2 [15.9, 48.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.312 [0.176, 0.516] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.2, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.377 [0.166, 0.955] g/100g; Selenium = 14.6 [7.5, 29.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.3 [1.9, 28.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.434 [0.313, 0.600] mg/100g (wet weight);
