Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 51.5 [22.8, 114.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.679 [0.360, 1.397] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [16.3, 21.5] %; Omega3 = 0.222 [0.122, 0.407] g/100g; Selenium = 9.13 [4.38, 19.76] μg/100g; VitaminA = 97.3 [27.0, 420.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.68, 1.94] mg/100g (wet weight);
