Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00582 - 0.02984), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.1 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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 893 [351, 1,821] mg/100g ; Iron = 3.85 [2.19, 6.89] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.7 [16.7, 18.8] % ; Omega3 = 0.297 [0.113, 0.804] g/100g ; Selenium = 29.8 [8.7, 89.1] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 101 [44, 238] μg/100g ; Zinc = 5.04 [3.25, 7.77] mg/100g (wet weight); based on
nutrient studies.
