Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16 - 26.2, mean 19.8 °C (based on 161 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this BS (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (17 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 23.6 [9.8, 76.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.49 [0.22, 1.11] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.9, 19.8] % ; Omega3 = 0.205 [0.083, 0.565] g/100g ; Selenium = 16.9 [7.6, 41.1] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 68.8 [15.4, 320.7] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.839 [0.494, 1.347] mg/100g (wet weight);
