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=0.00631 (0.00367 - 0.01084), b=3.12 (2.98 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 78.7 [47.5, 137.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.604 [0.400, 0.974] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [16.7, 18.3] %; Omega3 = 1.38 [0.59, 3.59] g/100g; Selenium = 12.6 [4.9, 32.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 68.8 [24.7, 182.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.82, 1.66] mg/100g (wet weight);
