Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 11 - 22.9, mean 15.3 °C (based on 11 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00530 - 0.02268), b=2.98 (2.82 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.59 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 260 [140, 650] mg/100g; Iron = 1.69 [0.89, 3.57] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.6, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.581 [0.297, 1.165] g/100g; Selenium = 11 [5, 28] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.1 [3.2, 102.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.54 [0.97, 2.39] mg/100g (wet weight);
