Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.4 - 14.6, mean 7.9 °C (based on 627 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00370 - 0.01356), b=3.15 (2.98 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 6.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Fec=800).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 88.9 [24.1, 250.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.499 [0.183, 1.602] mg/100g; Protein = 16.5 [14.7, 18.3] %; Omega3 = 0.311 [0.103, 0.923] g/100g; Selenium = 12.8 [3.8, 40.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 93.7 [11.5, 765.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.799 [0.401, 1.698] mg/100g (wet weight);
