Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00979 - 0.04459), b=2.92 (2.74 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):   (0 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 156 [52, 385] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.01 [0.58, 2.14] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.2 [15.8, 20.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.137 [0.059, 0.291] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.4 [10.0, 54.9] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 83.4 [24.0, 296.5] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.97 [1.08, 3.29] mg/100g (wet weight);
