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=0.00282 (0.00185 - 0.00429), b=3.02 (2.90 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 11.3 [2.0, 73.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.358 [0.076, 1.229] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [13.7, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.214 [0.085, 0.516] g/100g; Selenium = 6.36 [2.02, 19.24] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.6 [4.8, 108.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.432 [0.201, 0.833] mg/100g (wet weight);
