Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.7 - 23.3, mean 17.8 °C (based on 98 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00591 - 0.03225), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 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 = 145 [78, 263] mg/100g; Iron = 1.31 [0.72, 2.25] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.3, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.289 [0.173, 0.480] g/100g; Selenium = 21.4 [11.3, 42.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.4 [3.4, 38.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.924 [0.642, 1.349] mg/100g (wet weight);
