Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00461 - 0.01572), b=3.01 (2.84 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.4 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.
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 = 475 [245, 940] mg/100g ; Iron = 7.45 [3.52, 12.92] mg/100g ; Protein = 16.1 [14.6, 17.5] % ; Omega3 = 0.618 [0.259, 1.511] g/100g ; Selenium = 35.5 [11.5, 97.0] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 164 [59, 475] μg/100g ; Zinc = 3.46 [2.38, 5.13] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
