Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00196 - 0.01281), b=3.11 (2.89 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.5 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) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref.
125649): (0 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 1030 [440, 2,339] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.4 [0.7, 3.0] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.1 [15.9, 18.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.306 [0.133, 0.716] g/100g ; Selenium = 31.8 [11.6, 83.4] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 117 [35, 400] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.61 [1.56, 4.32] mg/100g (wet weight);
