Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.1 - 22.6, mean 17.6 °C (based on 102 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [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):  2.8   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 13.9 [5.2, 38.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.218 [0.098, 0.538] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [16.1, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.271 [0.114, 0.575] g/100g; Selenium = 7.52 [3.04, 19.50] μg/100g; VitaminA = 39.6 [8.8, 191.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.576 [0.348, 0.996] mg/100g (wet weight);
