Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 14.7 - 22, mean 17.6 °C (based on 317 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00265 - 0.01809), b=3.08 (2.85 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 94 [52, 181] mg/100g ; Iron = 2.03 [1.22, 3.16] mg/100g ; Protein = 19 [17, 21] % ; Omega3 = 0.377 [0.243, 0.583] g/100g ; Selenium = 23.9 [13.2, 44.3] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 7.11 [2.30, 20.53] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.18 [0.85, 1.66] mg/100g (wet weight);
