Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 2.5 - 8.8, mean 6 °C (based on 248 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00457 - 0.01819), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.44 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tm=2-4; Fec=4,581-51,854). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (23 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium . Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 63.9 [19.7, 143.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.27 [0.11, 0.75] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.4, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.276 [0.127, 0.615] g/100g; Selenium = 14 [5, 43] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.9 [3.1, 45.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.575 [0.307, 1.195] mg/100g (wet weight);
