Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.7 - 23.6, mean 18 °C (based on 262 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00048 (0.00025 - 0.00091), b=3.28 (3.12 - 3.44), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (57 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 9.59 [4.26, 16.73] mg/100g; Iron = 0.157 [0.088, 0.297] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.7, 21.4] %; Omega3 = 0.284 [0.127, 0.772] g/100g; Selenium = 11.9 [5.6, 24.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 37.4 [9.0, 154.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.474 [0.310, 0.713] mg/100g (wet weight);
