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=0.00513 (0.00205 - 0.01282), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.5 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 (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 898 [400, 2,233] mg/100g; Iron = 1.93 [1.01, 3.84] mg/100g; Protein = 16.4 [15.2, 17.7] %; Omega3 = 0.252 [0.105, 0.592] g/100g; Selenium = 27.4 [9.8, 83.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 110 [28, 420] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.25 [2.01, 5.09] mg/100g (wet weight);
