Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.5 - 22.3, mean 18.1 °C (based on 18 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 2.7 ±0.22 se; based on food items.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (tm=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 43.9 [26.8, 83.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.404 [0.251, 0.677] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [17.5, 19.4] %; Omega3 = 0.511 [0.305, 0.873] g/100g; Selenium = 12.1 [6.2, 23.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.3 [3.1, 34.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.653 [0.476, 0.917] mg/100g (wet weight);
