Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.4 - 11.4, mean 9.8 °C (based on 59 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00011 (0.00006 - 0.00022), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  4.3   ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Assuming tmax>10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 14.1 [6.2, 28.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.268 [0.123, 0.592] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.5, 18.8] %; Omega3 = 0.246 [0.110, 0.576] g/100g; Selenium = 30.8 [11.5, 79.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7 [1, 37] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.311 [0.195, 0.528] mg/100g (wet weight);
