Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00450 - 0.01340), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 4.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (tm=3-4; tmax=14; Fec=1,000-4,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (43 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 52.8 [32.4, 125.6] mg/100g; Iron = 1.02 [0.65, 1.75] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.4, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.35 [0.20, 0.64] g/100g; Selenium = 28.3 [16.2, 56.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.05 [2.98, 16.53] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.758 [0.538, 1.027] mg/100g (wet weight);
