Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 4.6 - 9.7, mean 7.3 °C (based on 245 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0002   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00600 - 0.03648), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.53 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High vulnerability (58 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 30.7 [15.9, 64.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.468 [0.183, 0.946] mg/100g; Protein = 16.7 [15.4, 18.1] %; Omega3 = 0.408 [0.200, 0.881] g/100g; Selenium = 18.2 [7.9, 43.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 9.29 [1.72, 49.89] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.39 [0.26, 0.58] mg/100g (wet weight);
