Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 24.5 - 29.3, mean 28.1 °C (based on 2125 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00417 (0.00157 - 0.01105), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±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 to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):   (0 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 251 [125, 614] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.66 [0.96, 2.66] mg/100g ; Protein = 18 [16, 20] % ; Omega3 = 0.265 [0.117, 0.713] g/100g ; Selenium = 59.7 [29.3, 122.3] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 18.6 [6.7, 67.8] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.24 [0.83, 1.80] mg/100g (wet weight);
