Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 15.3 - 22.6, mean 17.7 °C (based on 80 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00910 - 0.04376), b=2.99 (2.79 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 29.8 [13.6, 56.1] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.282 [0.154, 0.537] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.6 [15.7, 21.0] % ; Omega3 = 0.365 [0.180, 0.741] g/100g ; Selenium = 6.71 [2.78, 16.88] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 71.1 [14.7, 337.2] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.891 [0.517, 1.698] mg/100g (wet weight);
