Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00372 - 0.01775), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 16.7 [2.2, 333.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.762 [0.070, 8.952] mg/100g; Protein = 20.3 [15.0, 25.4] %; Omega3 = 0.212 [0.068, 0.612] g/100g; Selenium = 18.1 [3.3, 84.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 8.9 [0.7, 99.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.649 [0.044, 7.626] mg/100g (wet weight);
