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=0.01288 (0.00655 - 0.02535), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Résilience (Ref. 120179):  Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100).
Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 69.9 [27.3, 175.3] mg/100g; Iron = 1.38 [0.63, 2.87] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.3, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.536 [0.181, 1.532] g/100g; Selenium = 168 [58, 429] μg/100g; VitaminA = 31.2 [9.6, 93.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.08 [1.34, 3.25] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
