Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15 - 19.7, mean 17.1 °C (based on 136 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 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 = 86.5 [53.3, 184.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.513 [0.320, 0.897] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [17.4, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.678 [0.384, 1.218] g/100g; Selenium = 9.68 [5.01, 19.29] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.8 [5.7, 66.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.857 [0.600, 1.228] mg/100g (wet weight);
