Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 11.3 - 15.3, mean 13.7 °C (based on 86 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00195 - 0.00776), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.
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 = 70.5 [36.9, 166.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.421 [0.231, 0.853] mg/100g; Protein = 16.4 [14.7, 18.1] %; Omega3 = 0.497 [0.210, 1.052] g/100g; Selenium = 14.6 [6.0, 36.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 69.1 [15.9, 292.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.9 [0.6, 1.4] mg/100g (wet weight);
