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=0.01259 (0.00579 - 0.02736), b=3.05 (2.86 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 17.6 [9.9, 47.4] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.475 [0.240, 0.843] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.6 [17.8, 21.3] % ; Omega3 = 0.267 [0.152, 0.459] g/100g ; Selenium = 24 [12, 45] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 51 [16, 194] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.616 [0.410, 0.959] mg/100g (wet weight);
