Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5159 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00552 - 0.01042), b=3.15 (3.06 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=7; k >0.3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 74.2 [34.5, 168.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.665 [0.293, 1.374] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 1 [0, 3] g/100g; Selenium = 19.2 [9.4, 45.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.6 [4.3, 48.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.615 [0.406, 0.951] mg/100g (wet weight);
