Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13 - 24.2, mean 15.9 °C (based on 348 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00673 - 0.01628), b=2.98 (2.85 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 3.3 ( 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=0.3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 113 [43, 206] mg/100g; Iron = 1.05 [0.44, 2.03] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [17, 21] %; Omega3 = 0.283 [0.134, 0.560] g/100g; Selenium = 35.1 [17.9, 69.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.7 [3.9, 29.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.86 [0.57, 1.25] mg/100g (wet weight);
