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=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 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 = 295 [133, 694] mg/100g; Iron = 1.54 [0.79, 3.29] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.5] %; Omega3 = 0.24 [0.10, 0.49] g/100g; Selenium = 19.1 [8.2, 43.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 20.5 [5.1, 76.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.45 [0.92, 2.26] mg/100g (wet weight);
