Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00343 - 0.01679), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Très faible, temps minimum de doublement de population supérieur à 14 ans (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 43.4 [19.1, 91.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.955 [0.484, 1.888] mg/100g; Protein = 17.1 [15.5, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.265 [0.092, 0.697] g/100g; Selenium = 147 [60, 343] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.7 [6.1, 54.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.94 [0.59, 1.40] mg/100g (wet weight);
