Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00595 - 0.00843), b=3.07 (3.02 - 3.12), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 2.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec=5).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):   (0 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 140 [63, 333] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.67 [1.03, 2.89] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.9 [16.2, 19.6] % ; Omega3 = 0.791 [0.346, 1.707] g/100g ; Selenium = 35.2 [14.6, 80.8] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 13.8 [4.4, 43.2] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.03 [0.64, 1.97] mg/100g (wet weight);
