Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5234   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 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 to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 218 [104, 498] mg/100g; Iron = 1.46 [0.71, 2.82] mg/100g; Protein = 17 [16, 18] %; Omega3 = 0.267 [0.112, 0.827] g/100g; Selenium = 115 [52, 288] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.4 [3.9, 32.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.16 [0.80, 1.75] mg/100g (wet weight);
