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=0.01230 (0.00574 - 0.02638), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.5 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):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 165 [96, 317] mg/100g; Iron = 1.23 [0.70, 2.17] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [17.8, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.249 [0.135, 0.475] g/100g; Selenium = 49.8 [25.5, 92.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 24.5 [7.6, 68.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.33 [0.94, 1.88] mg/100g (wet weight);
