Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00490 (0.00187 - 0.01281), b=3.11 (2.88 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±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 = 140 [73, 230] mg/100g; Iron = 0.758 [0.452, 1.258] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.4, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.102 [0.058, 0.182] g/100g; Selenium = 22.2 [10.3, 45.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 145 [47, 418] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.84 [1.21, 2.64] mg/100g (wet weight);
