Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.3 - 28.9, mean 24.2 °C (based on 96 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00722 - 0.01743), b=2.96 (2.83 - 3.09), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for species & Genus-BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.0 se; based on diet studies.

Generation time: 6.3 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (K=0.17-0.22; tm=3-4).

Prior r = 0.37, 95% CL = 0.25 - 0.56, Based on 1 stock assessment.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (47 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 82.7 [40.2, 181.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.21 [0.66, 2.24] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.2 [14.9, 20.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.533 [0.247, 1.365] g/100g ; Selenium = 26.3 [13.4, 59.7] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 21.5 [8.6, 57.5] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.889 [0.622, 1.285] mg/100g (wet weight);
