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=0.01622 (0.00623 - 0.04222), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 125 [53, 299] mg/100g; Iron = 1.41 [0.70, 3.35] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [15.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.322 [0.119, 0.926] g/100g; Selenium = 45.2 [18.2, 101.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 53 [18, 145] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.17 [1.44, 3.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
