Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 13.7 - 16.6, mean 15.1 °C (based on 164 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.44 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (41 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 23.1 [3.2, 124.6] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.325 [0.059, 1.279] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.8 [16.3, 21.5] % ; Omega3 = 0.866 [0.240, 2.908] g/100g ; Selenium = 11.5 [2.2, 48.7] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 16 [3, 77] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.642 [0.165, 2.410] mg/100g (wet weight);
