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=0.02042 (0.01056 - 0.03946), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 40.6 [20.8, 93.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.752 [0.405, 1.291] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.0, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.0705 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 19.4 [9.7, 38.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 37.7 [8.9, 151.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.02 [1.34, 2.95] mg/100g (wet weight);
