Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00463 - 0.01565), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.4   ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.
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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 448 [268, 794] mg/100g; Iron = 6.94 [3.70, 13.04] mg/100g; Protein = 16.5 [15.1, 17.9] %; Omega3 = 0.312 [0.151, 0.626] g/100g; Selenium = 30.9 [13.3, 73.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 190 [80, 421] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.19 [3.08, 5.68] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
