Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.4 - 4.8, mean 3.5 °C (based on 33 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00300 - 0.01523), b=3.17 (2.98 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 11.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1
growth studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tm = 4-7).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 36.2 [14.8, 83.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.39 [0.18, 0.90] mg/100g; Protein = 16.8 [14.6, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.356 [0.142, 1.067] g/100g; Selenium = 19.7 [7.6, 51.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.3 [3.0, 66.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.469 [0.299, 0.789] mg/100g (wet weight);
