Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01698 (0.00803 - 0.03592), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (25 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 30.6 [4.4, 596.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.775 [0.073, 9.059] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [14.3, 24.8] %; Omega3 = 0.148 [0.043, 0.469] g/100g; Selenium = 31.6 [5.9, 155.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.7 [1.3, 176.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.35 [0.09, 15.70] mg/100g (wet weight);
