Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.9 - 8.6, mean 5.7 °C (based on 212 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00195 - 0.00776), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 68.5 [32.4, 151.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.888 [0.476, 1.698] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.286 [0.141, 0.557] g/100g; Selenium = 43.5 [17.6, 97.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 45.3 [12.2, 173.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.783 [0.520, 1.209] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
