Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00314 - 0.01524), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 149 [78, 243] mg/100g; Iron = 0.818 [0.486, 1.355] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.102 [0.059, 0.181] g/100g; Selenium = 24.7 [11.6, 50.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 123 [41, 360] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.91 [1.26, 2.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
