Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 8.1 - 18, mean 12.7 °C (based on 142 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00275 - 0.01321), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 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).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 299 [139, 659] mg/100g; Iron = 1.78 [0.95, 3.15] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [17.1, 21.9] %; Omega3 = 0.386 [0.165, 1.011] g/100g; Selenium = 18.8 [8.0, 44.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.5 [5.6, 48.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.48 [0.94, 2.18] mg/100g (wet weight);
