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=0.01622 (0.00774 - 0.03400), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
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 = 71.5 [28.5, 274.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.576 [0.226, 1.755] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.4, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.139 [0.060, 0.321] g/100g; Selenium = 27.8 [16.1, 53.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 76.8 [28.6, 208.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.07 [0.87, 3.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
