Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00513 - 0.01411), b=3.05 (2.91 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 211 [67, 412] mg/100g; Iron = 1.37 [0.78, 2.50] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [15.6, 17.5] %; Omega3 = 0.381 [0.132, 1.164] g/100g; Selenium = 584 [204, 1,766] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.11 [2.06, 16.75] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.84 [0.90, 3.69] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
