Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 5.6 - 14.6, mean 8.5 °C (based on 224 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00509 - 0.01560), b=3.17 (3.01 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.38 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 71.8 [31.7, 143.6] mg/100g; Iron = 1.03 [0.50, 1.87] mg/100g; Protein = 15.7 [13.8, 18.3] %; Omega3 = 0.368 [0.232, 0.576] g/100g; Selenium = 33.8 [18.4, 67.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.1 [7.8, 56.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.79 [0.55, 1.12] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
