Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00219 - 0.01260), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 206 [94, 409] mg/100g; Iron = 0.943 [0.518, 1.728] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.6, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.115 [0.055, 0.232] g/100g; Selenium = 18.5 [7.4, 45.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 450 [133, 1,556] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.4 [1.5, 3.7] mg/100g (wet weight);
