Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.1 - 28, mean 18.2 °C (based on 214 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00545 - 0.01597), b=3.06 (2.91 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.59 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 13.7 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Molto basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione più di 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (70 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 12.2 [5.9, 23.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.432 [0.235, 0.794] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [16.9, 22.0] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.098, 0.316] g/100g; Selenium = 24 [11, 46] μg/100g; VitaminA = 25.1 [7.8, 95.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.554 [0.379, 0.892] mg/100g (wet weight);
