Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.3 - 21.9, mean 18.3 °C (based on 126 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00616 - 0.00934), b=2.91 (2.87 - 2.95), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.51 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (K= 0.123; Tmax >8 yrs).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 24.6 [10.3, 69.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.664 [0.275, 1.476] mg/100g; Protein = 20.6 [18.5, 22.4] %; Omega3 = 0.212 [0.091, 0.512] g/100g; Selenium = 28.7 [11.1, 78.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 3.9 [0.6, 26.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.282 [0.169, 0.509] mg/100g (wet weight);
