Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 8.2 - 15.9, mean 13.1 °C (based on 64 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01950 (0.00842 - 0.04514), b=3.01 (2.80 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref.
125649): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 27.8 [14.8, 55.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.343 [0.186, 0.638] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.3, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.622 [0.321, 1.242] g/100g; Selenium = 17.2 [7.8, 37.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.4 [5.1, 115.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.47 [0.31, 0.70] mg/100g (wet weight);
