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=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 115 [55, 301] mg/100g; Iron = 0.468 [0.229, 0.966] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.381 [0.153, 0.864] g/100g; Selenium = 6.5 [2.6, 17.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.9 [5.8, 77.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.07 [0.70, 1.66] mg/100g (wet weight);
