Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.6 - 18.3, mean 16.8 °C (based on 174 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5352   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High vulnerability (56 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 12.1 [2.4, 53.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.254 [0.069, 0.719] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [16.8, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.41 [0.18, 0.89] g/100g; Selenium = 12.8 [3.9, 33.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.56 [2.96, 29.00] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.422 [0.206, 0.758] mg/100g (wet weight);
