Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00748 - 0.00968), b=3.07 (3.03 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.5 ±0.2 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 vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 287 [162, 562] mg/100g; Iron = 1.39 [0.70, 2.73] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [15.5, 17.7] %; Omega3 = 0.297 [0.116, 0.802] g/100g; Selenium = 167 [60, 440] μg/100g; VitaminA = 43.7 [17.1, 123.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.03 [0.54, 1.88] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
