Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 560 [206, 1,710] mg/100g; Iron = 1.66 [0.75, 3.57] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.0, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.386 [0.096, 1.492] g/100g; Selenium = 16.6 [4.2, 54.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 441 [96, 1,649] μg/100g; Zinc = 4.96 [2.84, 8.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
