Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 6.3 - 15.4, mean 11.1 °C (based on 155 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01660 (0.00723 - 0.03808), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Muy bajo, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo superior a 14 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 13.5 [3.6, 68.2] mg/100g; Iron = 0.372 [0.106, 1.261] mg/100g; Protein = 2.38 [0.00, 6.27] %; Omega3 = 0.168 [0.050, 0.591] g/100g; Selenium = 9.36 [2.14, 40.72] μg/100g; VitaminA = 40.2 [4.3, 418.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.563 [0.227, 1.476] mg/100g (wet weight);
