Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00434 - 0.02104), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 119 [33, 211] mg/100g; Iron = 0.79 [0.47, 1.41] mg/100g; Protein = 16.3 [15.5, 17.3] %; Omega3 = 0.362 [0.139, 0.995] g/100g; Selenium = 369 [140, 1,026] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.8 [5.5, 42.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.44 [0.78, 2.85] mg/100g (wet weight);
