Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.2 - 15.8, mean 13.3 °C (based on 58 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00413 - 0.02653), b=3.03 (2.81 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  Low to moderate vulnerability (29 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 26.3 [10.0, 103.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.32 [0.11, 1.04] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [16.1, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.215 [0.059, 0.693] g/100g; Selenium = 11.8 [3.9, 33.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 47.2 [5.7, 397.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.747 [0.397, 1.542] mg/100g (wet weight);
