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=0.00355 (0.00176 - 0.00714), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 11.5 [2.0, 74.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.359 [0.076, 1.226] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [13.7, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.209 [0.083, 0.506] g/100g; Selenium = 6.05 [1.92, 18.51] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.7 [4.9, 109.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.435 [0.200, 0.835] mg/100g (wet weight);
