Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.4 - 27.1, mean 24.9 °C (based on 176 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00451 - 0.02020), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.5 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 = 86 [38, 193] mg/100g; Iron = 0.886 [0.457, 1.899] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [16, 21] %; Omega3 = 0.265 [0.138, 0.510] g/100g; Selenium = 10.1 [4.3, 22.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 113 [30, 544] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.48 [0.87, 2.62] mg/100g (wet weight);
