Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 23.1, mean 15.5 °C (based on 154 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00292 - 0.01034), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.61 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 79.3 [28.4, 190.2] mg/100g; Iron = 1.08 [0.44, 2.12] mg/100g; Protein = 16.1 [13.2, 18.5] %; Omega3 = 0.232 [0.076, 0.537] g/100g; Selenium = 47.3 [19.2, 101.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 15.9 [4.5, 51.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.595 [0.383, 0.901] mg/100g (wet weight);
