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=0.00024 (0.00016 - 0.00036), b=3.34 (3.22 - 3.46), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.67 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 21.7 [13.2, 36.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.28 [0.17, 0.45] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.1, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.452 [0.210, 1.130] g/100g; Selenium = 19 [11, 36] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.63 [2.54, 35.08] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.417 [0.308, 0.566] mg/100g (wet weight);
