Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.2 - 23.4, mean 19.2 °C (based on 97 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00649 - 0.02558), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.66 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 7.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (54 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 85.2 [32.1, 174.5] mg/100g; Iron = 0.891 [0.478, 1.522] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.4, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.262 [0.156, 0.449] g/100g; Selenium = 76.5 [42.4, 147.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 21 [7, 69] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.917 [0.603, 1.345] mg/100g (wet weight);
