Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 14.7 - 20.5, mean 17.5 °C (based on 124 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.5000   [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).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 44.2 [24.2, 99.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.406 [0.220, 0.730] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.4 [16.1, 18.8] % ; Omega3 = 1.12 [0.49, 3.10] g/100g ; Selenium = 18.2 [9.3, 41.7] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 18.9 [5.9, 57.3] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.593 [0.426, 0.859] mg/100g (wet weight);
