Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00731 - 0.01887), b=2.95 (2.82 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 292 [138, 783] mg/100g; Iron = 3.74 [1.84, 7.18] mg/100g; Protein = 16.7 [15.5, 17.8] %; Omega3 = 0.527 [0.185, 1.464] g/100g; Selenium = 70.2 [24.5, 183.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 40.5 [12.6, 130.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.27 [1.28, 3.90] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
