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=0.00631 (0.00345 - 0.01155), b=3.05 (2.89 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 115 [28, 230] mg/100g; Iron = 0.773 [0.422, 1.425] mg/100g; Protein = 16.3 [15.4, 17.3] %; Omega3 = 0.229 [0.089, 0.572] g/100g; Selenium = 517 [176, 1,553] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.84 [2.29, 20.14] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.06 [0.53, 2.06] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
