Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01660 (0.00638 - 0.04320), b=2.99 (2.76 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 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 (18 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 187 [111, 330] mg/100g; Iron = 1.14 [0.63, 1.94] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [17.2, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.165 [0.092, 0.298] g/100g; Selenium = 31.4 [15.9, 62.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.9 [7.5, 53.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [1.10, 2.29] mg/100g (wet weight);
