Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 0.3 - 7.7, mean 2.6 °C (based on 243 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.1   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec = 66). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 20.5 [5.0, 69.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.431 [0.149, 1.080] mg/100g; Protein = 14.8 [12.5, 17.8] %; Omega3 = 0.349 [0.133, 0.959] g/100g; Selenium = 12.6 [4.4, 43.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.5 [3.4, 78.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.423 [0.217, 0.837] mg/100g (wet weight);
