Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7502 [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): 2.7 ±0.2 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 (23 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 143 [80, 301] mg/100g; Iron = 1.41 [0.86, 2.50] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.0, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.279 [0.168, 0.468] g/100g; Selenium = 19.5 [10.0, 40.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.7 [3.2, 34.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.22 [0.87, 1.78] mg/100g (wet weight);
