Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 14.1 - 20.4, mean 16.6 °C (based on 191 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7502   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.3   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 53.2 [22.8, 127.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.463 [0.193, 1.087] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.3, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.571 [0.263, 1.219] g/100g; Selenium = 14.8 [7.3, 32.0] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.8 [3.0, 48.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.627 [0.437, 0.982] mg/100g (wet weight);
