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=0.01514 (0.00873 - 0.02625), b=3.12 (2.97 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.34 se; based on food items.
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (tm<1; multiple spawning per year; Fec=20-150).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 299 [141, 613] mg/100g; Iron = 1.23 [0.70, 2.19] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [15.7, 18.1] %; Omega3 = 0.276 [0.125, 0.582] g/100g; Selenium = 22.7 [10.9, 46.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 85.1 [29.6, 226.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.88 [1.99, 4.14] mg/100g (wet weight);
