Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.3 - 22.9, mean 18.3 °C (based on 28 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00922 - 0.04317), b=2.99 (2.79 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tm=8).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (45 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 18.9 [8.5, 36.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.446 [0.238, 0.957] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [15.9, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.138 [0.073, 0.259] g/100g; Selenium = 16.6 [6.3, 39.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.4 [8.8, 216.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.744 [0.469, 1.321] mg/100g (wet weight);
