Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 28.1, mean 27.6 °C (based on 104 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00399 - 0.02083), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 123 [66, 225] mg/100g; Iron = 0.811 [0.479, 1.340] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [17.5, 19.7] %; Omega3 = 0.188 [0.109, 0.317] g/100g; Selenium = 23.9 [11.5, 46.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 228 [73, 695] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.17 [1.46, 3.10] mg/100g (wet weight);
