Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.5 - 21.7, mean 15.8 °C (based on 66 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00400 - 0.01728), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 11.9 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 4.5-14 años (k=0.09-0.17).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (51 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 96.5 [61.8, 183.0] mg/100g; Iron = 1.04 [0.67, 1.61] mg/100g; Protein = 16.9 [14.5, 19.8] %; Omega3 = 0.266 [0.165, 0.416] g/100g; Selenium = 60.6 [31.3, 113.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 33 [13, 83] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.16 [0.83, 1.62] mg/100g (wet weight);
