Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.6 °C (based on 2079 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 161 [58, 455] mg/100g; Iron = 1.28 [0.55, 2.76] mg/100g; Protein = 19.2 [17.1, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.271 [0.100, 0.676] g/100g; Selenium = 11.9 [3.8, 32.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 72.6 [14.4, 320.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.51 [1.38, 4.23] mg/100g (wet weight);
