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=0.00525 (0.00339 - 0.00812), b=2.99 (2.87 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.59 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 40 [15, 84] mg/100g; Iron = 0.536 [0.254, 1.225] mg/100g; Protein = 16 [14, 18] %; Omega3 = 0.0789 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 47.7 [14.7, 154.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22 [4, 108] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.42 [0.83, 2.42] mg/100g (wet weight);
