Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01698 (0.00734 - 0.03932), b=2.98 (2.79 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±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): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 97.5 [33.7, 384.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.234 [0.086, 0.618] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [15.7, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.118 [0.043, 0.333] g/100g; Selenium = 21.1 [5.7, 75.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 1220 [167, 8,037] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.62 [0.85, 3.06] mg/100g (wet weight);
