Estimates based on models

Resilience (Ref. 69278):	High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (K=1.3-1.8)
Rate of population increase	Prior r = 1.19, 95% CL = 0.79 - 1.79, Based on 3 data-limited stock assessments.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 71543)	Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649)	Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100)
Price category (Ref. 80766):	Very high.
Nutrients	Calcium = 109 [35, 184] mg/100g; Iron = 1.59 [1.21, 1.97] mg/100g; Protein = 20.2 [19.2, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.285 [0.185, 0.386] g/100g; Selenium = 48.3 [-31.7, 128.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 0 μg/100g; Zinc = 1.79 [1.17, 2.40] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
