Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.4 - 16, mean 11.7 °C (based on 131 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00676 (0.00293 - 0.01558), b=3.13 (2.93 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Low vulnerability (25 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 87.9 [23.5, 242.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.5 [0.2, 1.6] mg/100g; Protein = 16.4 [14.6, 18.2] %; Omega3 = 0.291 [0.097, 0.864] g/100g; Selenium = 12.6 [3.7, 41.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 88.9 [10.5, 769.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.852 [0.426, 1.830] mg/100g (wet weight);
