Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.2 - 9.6, mean 7 °C (based on 235 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00051 (0.00026 - 0.00101), b=3.13 (2.95 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.5   ±0.55 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming tmax>10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (66 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 12.2 [7.4, 26.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.37 [0.19, 0.73] mg/100g; Protein = 17.7 [15.5, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.324 [0.136, 0.888] g/100g; Selenium = 35.5 [15.9, 78.8] μg/100g; VitaminA = 7.52 [1.53, 39.41] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.226 [0.150, 0.341] mg/100g (wet weight);
