Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.4 °C (based on 3283 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00069 (0.00033 - 0.00144), b=3.12 (2.93 - 3.31), 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): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 71.5 [34.6, 135.9] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.628 [0.379, 1.175] mg/100g ; Protein = 18.4 [16.2, 20.8] % ; Omega3 = 0.271 [0.107, 0.760] g/100g ; Selenium = 41.3 [17.9, 90.6] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 94.9 [21.9, 358.2] μg/100g ; Zinc = 1.46 [0.94, 2.20] mg/100g (wet weight);
