Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 17.4 - 20.8, mean 18 °C (based on 22 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 121 [61, 208] mg/100g; Iron = 1.44 [0.83, 2.56] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.7, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.283 [0.159, 0.498] g/100g; Selenium = 18 [9, 38] μg/100g; VitaminA = 10.9 [3.0, 40.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1 [1, 2] mg/100g (wet weight);
