Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 5.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (K=0.56; tm=2.5; Fec=10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Preiskategorie (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 77.4 [35.8, 153.1] mg/100g; Iron = 1.7 [0.9, 3.4] mg/100g; Protein = 19.8 [18.1, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.549 [0.199, 1.613] g/100g; Selenium = 70.3 [28.3, 170.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 38.8 [8.5, 138.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.09 [0.73, 1.74] mg/100g (wet weight);
