Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 0.1 - 7.4, mean 0.9 °C (based on 21 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00287 - 0.01207), b=3.23 (3.06 - 3.40), 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): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 47.2 [27.7, 126.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.624 [0.228, 1.234] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [15.6, 18.1] %; Omega3 = 0.429 [0.227, 0.793] g/100g; Selenium = 12 [5, 27] μg/100g; VitaminA = 29.4 [6.5, 136.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.561 [0.369, 0.860] mg/100g (wet weight);
