Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00646 - 0.02815), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 78.2 [42.7, 158.2] mg/100g; Iron = 1.55 [0.88, 2.85] mg/100g; Protein = 19.9 [18.8, 21.1] %; Omega3 = 0.413 [0.261, 0.668] g/100g; Selenium = 25.3 [14.2, 47.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.16 [2.98, 25.69] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.685 [0.484, 0.995] mg/100g (wet weight);
