Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 9.1 - 20.6, mean 14.1 °C (based on 19 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.03090 (0.01359 - 0.07026), b=2.89 (2.70 - 3.08), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.7   ±0.31 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 60 [30, 94] mg/100g; Iron = 0.585 [0.356, 0.974] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.9, 19.3] %; Omega3 = 0.119 [0.074, 0.191] g/100g; Selenium = 37.8 [20.6, 69.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 74.9 [19.1, 275.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.41 [0.97, 2.02] mg/100g (wet weight);
