Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 4.7 - 5.9, mean 5.1 °C (based on 25 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00287 - 0.01207), b=3.23 (3.06 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 51.6 [32.5, 112.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.4 [0.2, 0.7] mg/100g; Protein = 17.3 [15.9, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.742 [0.364, 1.496] g/100g; Selenium = 11.9 [5.5, 24.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 62.4 [18.0, 214.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.815 [0.579, 1.124] mg/100g (wet weight);
