Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00255 - 0.01080), b=2.98 (2.79 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=6).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 49.4 [18.4, 193.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.404 [0.139, 1.487] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.0, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 1.11 [0.62, 2.08] g/100g; Selenium = 3.31 [1.04, 14.27] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.8 [7.8, 64.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.572 [0.328, 1.664] mg/100g (wet weight);
