Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.7 - 22, mean 17.6 °C (based on 317 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00267 - 0.01793), b=3.08 (2.86 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.2 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 to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 111 [63, 206] mg/100g; Iron = 1.47 [0.88, 2.42] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.9, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.299 [0.181, 0.524] g/100g; Selenium = 15.3 [8.2, 30.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 12.3 [3.9, 37.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.15 [0.82, 1.62] mg/100g (wet weight);
