Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.9 - 23.2, mean 20.4 °C (based on 80 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.00967 - 0.05425), b=2.90 (2.72 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mellan, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 1,4-4,4 år (Assuming tm=2-4).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (80 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 45.6 [20.2, 109.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.433 [0.186, 1.013] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.6, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.512 [0.231, 1.099] g/100g; Selenium = 13.4 [6.6, 29.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.41 [2.37, 37.88] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.527 [0.367, 0.827] mg/100g (wet weight);
