Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5195 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01585 (0.00623 - 0.04034), b=2.96 (2.74 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 2.2 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 74.6 [31.3, 180.5] mg/100g; Iron = 1.72 [0.80, 3.98] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.5, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.374 [0.141, 1.067] g/100g; Selenium = 72.6 [26.1, 186.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16 [5, 55] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.42 [0.94, 2.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
