Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18.4 - 20.1, mean 19.8 °C (based on 14 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00049 (0.00024 - 0.00099), b=3.26 (3.10 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 43 [26, 85] mg/100g; Iron = 0.798 [0.453, 1.327] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.6, 21.2] %; Omega3 = 0.248 [0.111, 0.634] g/100g; Selenium = 35.8 [18.4, 77.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 8.77 [2.53, 31.31] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.572 [0.422, 0.812] mg/100g (wet weight);
