Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.01227 - 0.03559), b=3.03 (2.88 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 121 [38, 283] mg/100g; Iron = 1.17 [0.55, 2.17] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.6, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.518 [0.163, 1.530] g/100g; Selenium = 71.5 [25.9, 200.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 137 [42, 536] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.52 [1.54, 3.89] mg/100g (wet weight);
