Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.1 - 25, mean 18.1 °C (based on 262 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00956 - 0.04164), b=2.93 (2.76 - 3.10), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 29.5 [11.0, 93.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.317 [0.134, 0.806] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.0, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.361 [0.138, 0.822] g/100g; Selenium = 7.14 [2.37, 20.87] μg/100g; VitaminA = 46.9 [9.5, 241.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1 [1, 2] mg/100g (wet weight);
