Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00418 - 0.02283), b=3.07 (2.86 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.39 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 99.6 [49.0, 182.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.834 [0.376, 1.552] mg/100g; Protein = 16.1 [13.8, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.191 [0.080, 0.420] g/100g; Selenium = 88.8 [44.8, 183.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 26.1 [7.9, 78.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.18 [0.79, 1.69] mg/100g (wet weight);
