Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 8.5 - 16, mean 13.3 °C (based on 59 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01820 (0.00786 - 0.04213), b=2.97 (2.76 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.29 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 280 [80, 681] mg/100g; Iron = 0.485 [0.198, 1.252] mg/100g; Protein = 15.9 [14.1, 17.6] %; Omega3 = 0.611 [0.202, 1.952] g/100g; Selenium = 6.73 [1.96, 21.43] μg/100g; VitaminA = 111 [17, 691] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.45 [0.78, 2.60] mg/100g (wet weight);
