Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 0.1 - 6.6, mean 2.3 °C (based on 657 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00281 - 0.01234), b=3.15 (2.97 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (22 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 53.8 [22.1, 115.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.332 [0.152, 0.712] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [15.2, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.648 [0.285, 1.816] g/100g; Selenium = 17.9 [8.2, 40.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.7 [6.1, 70.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.633 [0.416, 1.051] mg/100g (wet weight);
