Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.4 - 28.9, mean 27.5 °C (based on 532 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):  3.5   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 37.2 [14.6, 100.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.558 [0.333, 0.989] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [15.7, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.127 [0.064, 0.249] g/100g; Selenium = 32 [12, 89] μg/100g; VitaminA = 102 [33, 353] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.87 [0.88, 3.36] mg/100g (wet weight);
