Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 11.7 - 20.5, mean 16.8 °C (based on 26 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00739 - 0.01784), b=3.08 (2.95 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (34 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Low.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 50.9 [31.7, 92.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.767 [0.484, 1.201] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.8, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.338 [0.216, 0.522] g/100g; Selenium = 26.7 [14.7, 48.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21.8 [7.8, 64.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.821 [0.616, 1.138] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
