Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.7 - 28.2, mean 26.9 °C (based on 158 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01349 (0.00632 - 0.02879), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±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 = 262 [122, 663] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.04 [0.57, 2.00] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.3, 20.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.221 [0.111, 0.438] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.7 [9.7, 52.9] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 208 [55, 766] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.09 [1.26, 3.43] mg/100g (wet weight);
