Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 1.1 - 10.4, mean 6.2 °C (based on 396 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00387 - 0.01962), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.30 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fecundity assumed < 1000). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 197 [65, 661] mg/100g; Iron = 1.15 [0.45, 3.75] mg/100g; Protein = 17 [15, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.547 [0.204, 1.462] g/100g; Selenium = 23.2 [7.0, 70.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 34.4 [4.9, 228.1] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.29 [0.64, 2.80] mg/100g (wet weight);
