Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.9 - 17.7, mean 15.1 °C (based on 52 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00480 - 0.01654), b=2.78 (2.62 - 2.94), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.40 se; based on food items.
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 = 102 [23, 308] mg/100g; Iron = 1.28 [0.48, 4.67] mg/100g; Protein = 3.2 [0.0, 7.0] %; Omega3 = 0.319 [0.139, 0.712] g/100g; Selenium = 18.9 [3.8, 55.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.7 [5.9, 56.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.99 [0.50, 1.99] mg/100g (wet weight);
