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=0.00977 (0.00774 - 0.01235), b=2.97 (2.91 - 3.03), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 251 [121, 663] mg/100g; Iron = 3.17 [1.58, 6.07] mg/100g; Protein = 16.7 [15.5, 17.8] %; Omega3 = 0.534 [0.189, 1.479] g/100g; Selenium = 57.7 [20.5, 148.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 57.6 [17.8, 182.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.09 [1.17, 3.55] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
