Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.3 - 8.5, mean 6.9 °C (based on 12 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00110 (0.00041 - 0.00296), b=3.08 (2.85 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 41.3 [10.1, 166.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.77 [0.27, 1.99] mg/100g; Protein = 15.3 [12.7, 17.9] %; Omega3 = 0.348 [0.130, 0.979] g/100g; Selenium = 13.2 [3.2, 47.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 17.5 [3.5, 89.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.55 [0.28, 1.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
