Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 13.3 - 15.8, mean 14.3 °C (based on 18 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00956 - 0.04164), b=2.93 (2.76 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 32.5 [12.9, 94.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.776 [0.353, 2.055] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [15.9, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.197 [0.082, 0.425] g/100g; Selenium = 21.3 [8.4, 55.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 62 [13, 281] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.835 [0.493, 1.446] mg/100g (wet weight);
