Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00406 - 0.01178), b=3.10 (2.95 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.3   ±0.32 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (35 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 140 [86, 274] mg/100g; Iron = 1.06 [0.56, 1.83] mg/100g; Protein = 19.1 [18.0, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.212 [0.115, 0.348] g/100g; Selenium = 46.5 [26.5, 86.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.7 [7.4, 45.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.38 [1.02, 1.95] mg/100g (wet weight);
