Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 10.4 - 22.6, mean 18.2 °C (based on 218 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00415 - 0.02764), b=3.02 (2.80 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.2   ±0.63 se; based on food items. Generation time: 9.1 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.12). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High to very high vulnerability (68 of 100). Nutrients (Ref. 124155 ):  Calcium = 11.6 [7.8, 19.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.237 [0.154, 0.367] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [17.4, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.577 [0.350, 0.946] g/100g; Selenium = 24 [13, 44] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.1 [6.4, 54.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.353 [0.275, 0.474] mg/100g (wet weight);
