Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15 - 18.6, mean 17.4 °C (based on 160 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00551 - 0.02747), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.39 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 15.3 [6.5, 23.9] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.195 [0.114, 0.320] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.2 [17.3, 21.2] % ; Omega3 = 0.346 [0.198, 0.598] g/100g ; Selenium = 7.51 [3.69, 15.46] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 54.6 [15.8, 200.9] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.643 [0.429, 0.946] mg/100g (wet weight);
