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=0.00562 (0.00244 - 0.01296), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 132 [59, 285] mg/100g; Iron = 1.28 [0.60, 2.80] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [14.9, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.303 [0.128, 0.727] g/100g; Selenium = 94.4 [35.7, 247.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 25.2 [9.5, 64.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.47 [0.97, 2.88] mg/100g (wet weight);
