Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 28.3, mean 26.8 °C (based on 79 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 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 = 296 [125, 839] mg/100g; Iron = 1.04 [0.47, 2.49] mg/100g; Protein = 17.6 [14.5, 19.9] %; Omega3 = 0.258 [0.106, 0.623] g/100g; Selenium = 14.8 [4.6, 43.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 950 [158, 5,633] μg/100g; Zinc = 3.91 [2.09, 7.13] mg/100g (wet weight);
