Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.1 - 24.7, mean 18.2 °C (based on 142 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00295 - 0.02818), b=2.98 (2.72 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 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 = 143 [58, 418] mg/100g; Iron = 0.5 [0.2, 1.1] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.298 [0.102, 0.795] g/100g; Selenium = 4.19 [1.51, 12.02] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.5 [5.4, 93.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.25 [0.75, 2.05] mg/100g (wet weight);
