Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.3 - 18.2, mean 15.2 °C (based on 154 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00401 - 0.01194), b=3.09 (2.94 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 3.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (23 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 168 [82, 380] mg/100g; Iron = 1.28 [0.66, 2.62] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.1, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.449 [0.204, 0.821] g/100g; Selenium = 23.9 [11.3, 50.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 27.4 [7.7, 93.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.24 [0.80, 1.93] mg/100g (wet weight);
