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=0.00933 (0.00385 - 0.02260), b=3.08 (2.87 - 3.29), 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
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 116 [63, 205] mg/100g; Iron = 0.796 [0.484, 1.287] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.6, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.103, 0.284] g/100g; Selenium = 23.1 [11.6, 43.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 199 [67, 589] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.09 [1.44, 2.94] mg/100g (wet weight);
