Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.01622 - 0.02344), b=2.96 (2.91 - 3.01), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.2   ±0.12 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.19-0.43; Tmax=5).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):   (0 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 27.3 [7.5, 204.4] mg/100g ; Iron = 3.51 [1.16, 9.64] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.1 [16.7, 21.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.368 [0.167, 0.799] g/100g ; Selenium = 40.4 [15.5, 89.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 6.63 [1.88, 22.45] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.44 [1.00, 2.11] mg/100g (wet weight);
