Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00380 (0.00247 - 0.00586), b=2.93 (2.80 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.32 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.7).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 148 [67, 274] mg/100g; Iron = 0.902 [0.393, 1.596] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.1, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.13 [0.05, 0.32] g/100g; Selenium = 84.3 [39.5, 186.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.4 [7.9, 67.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.57 [1.06, 2.27] mg/100g (wet weight);
