Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.7 - 23.3, mean 17.9 °C (based on 120 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02344 (0.00909 - 0.06048), b=2.99 (2.76 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.41 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 42.5 [18.6, 92.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.619 [0.340, 1.081] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [18.2, 20.5] %; Omega3 = 0.186 [0.105, 0.322] g/100g; Selenium = 14.5 [6.9, 29.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 42.6 [11.0, 161.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.791 [0.499, 1.205] mg/100g (wet weight);
