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=0.00776 (0.00248 - 0.02432), b=3.01 (2.76 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.9 ±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 (15 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 56.2 [25.7, 125.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.435 [0.235, 0.806] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.1, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 1.06 [0.33, 3.70] g/100g; Selenium = 11.9 [4.0, 38.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 73.1 [20.5, 239.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.17 [0.75, 1.77] mg/100g (wet weight);
