Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00954 - 0.01662), b=2.98 (2.92 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.3   ±0.1 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):  Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 485 [241, 992] mg/100g ; Iron = 7.74 [1.36, 25.47] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.6 [16.5, 18.8] % ; Omega3 = 0.508 [0.273, 0.920] g/100g ; Selenium = 152 [42, 536] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 26.1 [10.5, 65.4] μg/100g ; Zinc = 3.18 [1.88, 5.11] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
