Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 15.1 - 28, mean 18.2 °C (based on 214 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00545 - 0.01597), b=3.06 (2.91 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.8   ±0.59 se; based on food items. Generation time: 7.8 ( 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 to very high vulnerability (66 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Very high . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 12.2 [5.9, 23.9] mg/100g; Iron = 0.432 [0.235, 0.794] mg/100g; Protein = 19.7 [16.9, 22.0] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.098, 0.316] g/100g; Selenium = 24 [11, 46] μg/100g; VitaminA = 25.1 [7.8, 95.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.554 [0.379, 0.892] mg/100g (wet weight);
