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=0.00047 (0.00025 - 0.00089), b=3.28 (3.13 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 49.7 [27.9, 97.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.524 [0.317, 1.065] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.5, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.123 [0.055, 0.354] g/100g; Selenium = 34 [19, 69] μg/100g; VitaminA = 91.4 [27.9, 279.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.08 [0.76, 1.49] mg/100g (wet weight);
