Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00577 - 0.02877), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.6   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (46 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 19.1 [9.6, 43.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.47 [0.25, 0.90] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [16.8, 21.8] %; Omega3 = 0.21 [0.12, 0.37] g/100g; Selenium = 16.1 [7.8, 33.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 54.9 [16.5, 232.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.673 [0.435, 1.102] mg/100g (wet weight);
