Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00089 (0.00039 - 0.00204), b=3.00 (2.80 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  sehr niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert mehr als 14 Jahre. (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 53 [31, 96] mg/100g; Iron = 0.758 [0.438, 1.299] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.0, 20.7] %; Omega3 = 0.151 [0.063, 0.398] g/100g; Selenium = 94.2 [49.6, 201.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 8.95 [2.71, 27.86] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.731 [0.535, 1.038] mg/100g (wet weight);
