Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01537 - 0.04300), b=2.94 (2.80 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Tmax >3). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Moderate to high vulnerability (48 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 88 [48, 171] mg/100g; Iron = 1.27 [0.71, 2.24] mg/100g; Protein = 16.2 [15.1, 17.4] %; Omega3 = 0.273 [0.106, 0.701] g/100g; Selenium = 126 [53, 312] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.9 [7.5, 60.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.62 [1.07, 2.41] mg/100g (wet weight); Comments & Corrections Back to Search Random Species Back to Top Accessed through: Not available FishBase mirror site : localhost Page last modified by : mrius-barile - 20 July 2016 Fatal error : Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function checkEcotox(), 1 passed in /var/www/html/summary/speciessummary.php on line 2304 and exactly 3 expected in /var/www/html/includes/speciessummary.lib.php:2579 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/summary/speciessummary.php(2304): checkEcotox() #1 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/includes/speciessummary.lib.php on line 2579 Updated: 2024-04-16 19:31:04 gmt TaiBIF | Search | All Living Things | Top © Designed by The Polistes Corporation
