Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 16.2 - 20.2, mean 19.6 °C (based on 6 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5010 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00062 (0.00036 - 0.00105), b=3.29 (3.15 - 3.43), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 6.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=17.9; tm=5.3; K=0.178).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 67.4 [37.0, 124.3] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.822 [0.500, 1.348] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.7 [17.6, 21.9] % ; Omega3 = 0.317 [0.156, 0.829] g/100g ; Selenium = 42.8 [22.5, 82.6] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 11.5 [3.2, 38.7] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.669 [0.480, 0.952] mg/100g (wet weight);
