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=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 313 [121, 690] mg/100g; Iron = 1.63 [0.83, 2.89] mg/100g; Protein = 16.8 [15.5, 18.0] %; Omega3 = 0.263 [0.092, 0.728] g/100g; Selenium = 33.5 [12.4, 89.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 101 [33, 268] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.42 [2.25, 5.03] mg/100g (wet weight);
