Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00683 - 0.03057), b=2.98 (2.81 - 3.15), 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):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (16 of 100). 🛈
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 37.3 [19.5, 90.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.665 [0.305, 1.577] mg/100g; Protein = 19.8 [17.8, 21.6] %; Omega3 = 0.237 [0.125, 0.459] g/100g; Selenium = 13.6 [6.4, 28.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 47.7 [12.7, 164.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.833 [0.537, 1.336] mg/100g (wet weight);
