Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00591 - 0.03375), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 215 [115, 427] mg/100g; Iron = 1.02 [0.59, 1.91] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [17, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.208 [0.095, 0.440] g/100g; Selenium = 20.1 [9.8, 40.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 63.3 [23.1, 176.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.21 [1.53, 3.29] mg/100g (wet weight);
