Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.4 - 21.1, mean 17.4 °C (based on 92 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6252 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 80.9 [34.1, 200.0] mg/100g; Iron = 1.22 [0.56, 2.90] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [15.8, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.315 [0.152, 0.630] g/100g; Selenium = 37 [18, 85] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.58 [2.16, 27.46] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.74 [0.50, 1.11] mg/100g (wet weight);
