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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 52.5 [32.3, 83.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.589 [0.352, 1.047] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [15.7, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.14 [0.10, 0.21] g/100g; Selenium = 28 [18, 47] μg/100g; VitaminA = 111 [36, 388] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.4 [1.0, 2.2] mg/100g (wet weight);
