Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00659 - 0.02894), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.59 se; based on food items.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  hoch, Verdopplung der Population dauert weniger als 15 Monate. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (15 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 153 [58, 392] mg/100g; Iron = 2.07 [0.69, 5.14] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.7, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.499 [0.184, 1.411] g/100g; Selenium = 72.3 [29.6, 170.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 53.6 [12.6, 156.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.85 [1.32, 6.56] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
