Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00578 - 0.01313), b=3.07 (2.95 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec=512).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 455 [180, 1,266] mg/100g; Iron = 1.46 [0.69, 3.31] mg/100g; Protein = 16.3 [14.3, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.583 [0.248, 1.405] g/100g; Selenium = 41.3 [15.9, 99.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 244 [57, 972] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.69 [2.29, 5.39] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
