Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.9 - 18.5, mean 17 °C (based on 138 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 35.6 [15.7, 67.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.31 [0.17, 0.54] mg/100g; Protein = 19.3 [18.2, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.455 [0.233, 0.866] g/100g; Selenium = 7.19 [3.22, 16.34] μg/100g; VitaminA = 59.8 [15.5, 233.8] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.809 [0.520, 1.251] mg/100g (wet weight);
