Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.8 - 20.8, mean 17.6 °C (based on 299 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00589 - 0.03714), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 40.5 [21.3, 77.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.398 [0.200, 0.728] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.8, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.395 [0.212, 0.736] g/100g; Selenium = 10 [5, 22] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.7 [4.1, 68.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.519 [0.348, 0.780] mg/100g (wet weight);
