Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 13.1 - 25.4, mean 23.7 °C (based on 68 cells).

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02138 (0.01278 - 0.03576), b=2.99 (2.85 - 3.13), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).

Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): Very high vulnerability (81 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): High.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 94.5 [46.2, 203.0] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.43 [0.80, 2.91] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.3 [17.0, 19.6] % ; Omega3 = 0.66 [0.32, 1.44] g/100g ; Selenium = 28 [11, 65] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 8.22 [2.01, 31.95] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.904 [0.520, 1.538] mg/100g (wet weight);
