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=0.00468 (0.00189 - 0.01159), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
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 = 605 [257, 1,211] mg/100g; Iron = 1.1 [0.5, 2.5] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.1, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.354 [0.152, 0.818] g/100g; Selenium = 62.7 [22.9, 179.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 192 [54, 636] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.09 [2.52, 6.46] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
