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=0.02344 (0.01144 - 0.04804), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.3 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 = 557 [288, 1,190] mg/100g ; Iron = 2.29 [1.25, 4.34] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.5 [16.3, 18.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.191 [0.091, 0.387] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.4 [9.5, 54.7] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 32.4 [8.2, 125.2] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.96 [1.85, 4.57] mg/100g (wet weight);
