Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.2 - 7.9, mean 7 °C (based on 8 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00102 (0.00046 - 0.00225), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.7 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (45 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 28.5 [13.6, 68.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.46 [0.18, 1.05] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.0, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.275 [0.144, 0.534] g/100g; Selenium = 19.2 [8.0, 42.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.6 [3.1, 68.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.308 [0.206, 0.462] mg/100g (wet weight);
