Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.00909 - 0.06048), b=2.99 (2.76 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 35.4 [18.9, 61.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.291 [0.162, 0.505] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [16.5, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.433 [0.220, 0.886] g/100g; Selenium = 10.6 [5.2, 22.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.5 [4.4, 75.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.595 [0.404, 0.897] mg/100g (wet weight);
