Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.7 - 26, mean 18.8 °C (based on 983 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5313   [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 body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.46 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Assuming tm=2-4).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (18 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 52.9 [17.9, 131.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.51 [0.18, 1.50] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.5, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.167 [0.062, 0.423] g/100g; Selenium = 14.6 [4.6, 43.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 22.2 [2.6, 185.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.554 [0.275, 1.128] mg/100g (wet weight);
