Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5166   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00242 - 0.00825), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 61.8 [20.0, 209.0] mg/100g; Iron = 1.36 [0.48, 4.20] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.4, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.284 [0.113, 0.726] g/100g; Selenium = 102 [35, 244] μg/100g; VitaminA = 50.1 [10.2, 265.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.695 [0.362, 1.536] mg/100g (wet weight);
