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=0.01820 (0.00772 - 0.04289), b=3.01 (2.81 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 50 [25, 88] mg/100g; Iron = 0.588 [0.357, 0.999] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.8, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.0817 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 32.6 [17.2, 67.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42 [10, 169] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.42 [0.96, 2.11] mg/100g (wet weight);
