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=0.00759 (0.00439 - 0.01310), b=2.89 (2.74 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 0.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (K=1.20).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 284 [110, 741] mg/100g; Iron = 2.99 [1.45, 7.03] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.8, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.609 [0.218, 1.751] g/100g; Selenium = 47.1 [17.8, 146.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42.2 [15.4, 115.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.88 [1.87, 4.31] mg/100g (wet weight);
