Issue
Iles (1960) reported 2 different morphs at the type locality when describing C. virginalis: the holotype and some paratypes are referred to as "kaduna", while some other paratypes are named "kajose". Both morphs appear to be valid species, C. virginalis therefor only refers to the "kaduna" morph, while "kajose" awaits formal description as a new species (Ref. 54524).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00674 - 0.03099), b=2.99 (2.82 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.32 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 1.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (K=0.78; tm=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 231 [128, 540] mg/100g; Iron = 2.02 [1.11, 4.04] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [17.1, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.485 [0.171, 1.433] g/100g; Selenium = 56.3 [23.4, 142.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 52.9 [12.6, 169.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 3 [2, 5] mg/100g (wet weight);
