Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00417 - 0.02512), b=3.03 (2.82 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.4 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.
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 = 448 [268, 794] mg/100g; Iron = 6.94 [3.70, 13.04] mg/100g; Protein = 16.5 [15.1, 17.9] %; Omega3 = 0.312 [0.151, 0.626] g/100g; Selenium = 30.9 [13.3, 73.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 190 [80, 421] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.19 [3.08, 5.68] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
