Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 11.5 - 19.4, mean 15 °C (based on 123 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02512 (0.00987 - 0.06393), b=2.97 (2.74 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.
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 = 180 [100, 475] mg/100g; Iron = 1.57 [0.74, 3.26] mg/100g; Protein = 17 [15, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.263 [0.135, 0.511] g/100g; Selenium = 48.4 [20.9, 117.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 41.9 [10.3, 194.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.33 [0.82, 2.11] mg/100g (wet weight);
