Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 11.8 - 15, mean 12.9 °C (based on 28 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01259 (0.00513 - 0.03091), b=3.01 (2.80 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=3-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (71 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   High.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 30 [16, 73] mg/100g; Iron = 0.501 [0.253, 1.042] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [15.4, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.609 [0.261, 1.764] g/100g; Selenium = 15.3 [6.5, 37.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 23.5 [5.2, 111.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.351 [0.237, 0.535] mg/100g (wet weight);
