Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 1.8 - 8.8, mean 5.2 °C (based on 508 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00552 - 0.03297), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 20.6 [9.8, 41.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.383 [0.196, 0.783] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.2, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.592 [0.311, 1.130] g/100g; Selenium = 23.2 [10.5, 49.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.5 [2.3, 46.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.398 [0.259, 0.619] mg/100g (wet weight);
