Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.6 - 28.9, mean 27.2 °C (based on 410 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02291 (0.01133 - 0.04632), b=3.00 (2.83 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 85.2 [44.6, 133.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.75 [0.45, 1.22] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [17.6, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.121 [0.075, 0.190] g/100g; Selenium = 32.6 [18.7, 60.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 51.6 [15.5, 167.0] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.26 [0.86, 1.80] mg/100g (wet weight);
