Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 14.6 - 19.8, mean 17.2 °C (based on 13 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5020   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00714 - 0.02549), b=3.07 (2.91 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Generation time: 9.6 ( 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 (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High vulnerability (63 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 48.5 [20.7, 96.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.786 [0.435, 1.491] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [16.7, 20.2] %; Omega3 = 0.349 [0.216, 0.581] g/100g; Selenium = 30 [15, 60] μg/100g; VitaminA = 14.7 [4.5, 52.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.646 [0.463, 0.943] mg/100g (wet weight);
