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=0.01175 (0.00571 - 0.02419), b=3.04 (2.88 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (24 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 34.9 [17.0, 70.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.528 [0.286, 1.069] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.9, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.147 [0.093, 0.231] g/100g; Selenium = 38.2 [22.4, 66.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 220 [63, 770] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.37 [0.96, 1.92] mg/100g (wet weight);
