Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5006   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00627 - 0.01053), b=2.99 (2.92 - 3.06), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.3 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 2.8 (2.7 - 3.1) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 11 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 248 [58, 567] mg/100g; Iron = 1.87 [0.91, 4.63] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.1, 21.1] %; Omega3 = 0.472 [0.198, 1.184] g/100g; Selenium = 142 [36, 446] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.6 [10.6, 229.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.1 [0.5, 2.4] mg/100g (wet weight);
