Hata, H., S. Lavoué and H. Motomura, 2022. Redescriptions of Dussumieria elopsoides Bleeker, 1849 and related nominal species led to the revalidation of Dussumieria hasseltii Bleeker, 1851 and Dussumieria productissima Chabanaud, 1933 (Clupeiformes: Dussumieriidae).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00429 - 0.02028), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
