Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00502 - 0.02185), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 95.4 [51.6, 184.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.753 [0.390, 1.306] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.6, 20.1] % ; Omega3 = 0.167 [0.103, 0.269] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.9 [12.6, 43.5] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 143 [47, 461] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.62 [1.08, 2.35] mg/100g (wet weight);
