Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 19.4, mean 15.7 °C (based on 184 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00466 - 0.02049), b=3.07 (2.90 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.38).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 150 [54, 332] mg/100g; Iron = 1.11 [0.46, 2.31] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.5, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.186 [0.094, 0.344] g/100g; Selenium = 24.4 [11.9, 54.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.9 [3.1, 43.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.798 [0.507, 1.201] mg/100g (wet weight);
