Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.9 - 13.3, mean 12 °C (based on 14 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00372 (0.00188 - 0.00734), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.9   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Fec=3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 8.33 [1.47, 46.42] mg/100g; Iron = 0.278 [0.064, 0.940] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.6, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.273 [0.084, 0.874] g/100g; Selenium = 12.6 [3.5, 41.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.3 [2.6, 80.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.454 [0.213, 0.919] mg/100g (wet weight);
