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=0.00079 (0.00044 - 0.00142), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.8 ±0.64 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100). 🛈

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 297 [87, 689] mg/100g; Iron = 1.06 [0.42, 2.89] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.3, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.117 [0.054, 0.252] g/100g; Selenium = 26.3 [12.2, 64.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.1 [6.2, 52.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.31 [0.66, 2.48] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
