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=0.00813 (0.00366 - 0.01807), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 7.02 [1.01, 123.38] mg/100g; Iron = 0.254 [0.023, 2.895] mg/100g; Protein = 20 [15, 25] %; Omega3 = 0.331 [0.098, 0.978] g/100g; Selenium = 8.74 [1.83, 44.59] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.45 [0.58, 89.54] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.433 [0.032, 4.755] mg/100g (wet weight);
