Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 7.9 - 14.5, mean 11.7 °C (based on 84 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5315 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00600 - 0.03648), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 43.5 [23.7, 79.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.384 [0.212, 0.705] mg/100g; Protein = 17.4 [16.2, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.75 [0.40, 1.47] g/100g; Selenium = 17.7 [8.9, 35.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.9 [3.0, 50.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.481 [0.335, 0.708] mg/100g (wet weight);
