Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.3 - 28.1, mean 27.1 °C (based on 764 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00409 - 0.01018), b=3.03 (2.90 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.44 se; based on food items.
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 = 200 [83, 415] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.16 [0.63, 2.37] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.4 [15.6, 19.1] % ; Omega3 = 0.336 [0.134, 0.816] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.8 [8.4, 55.6] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 144 [34, 540] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.54 [1.49, 4.20] mg/100g (wet weight);
