Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00956 - 0.04164), b=2.93 (2.76 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 20.1 [8.0, 64.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.566 [0.265, 1.430] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.4, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.16 [0.07, 0.32] g/100g; Selenium = 22.5 [9.5, 52.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 28.9 [6.8, 123.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.747 [0.461, 1.252] mg/100g (wet weight);
