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=0.01175 (0.00548 - 0.02519), b=3.00 (2.82 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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 (24 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 105 [63, 272] mg/100g; Iron = 0.776 [0.428, 1.378] mg/100g; Protein = 16.8 [15.4, 18.0] %; Omega3 = 0.287 [0.147, 0.553] g/100g; Selenium = 4.18 [1.33, 14.22] μg/100g; VitaminA = 57.2 [15.3, 190.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.09 [1.26, 3.46] mg/100g (wet weight);
