Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.2 - 26.5, mean 26 °C (based on 54 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00551 - 0.02747), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.47 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 13.2 [7.3, 22.1] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.21 [0.13, 0.33] mg/100g ; Protein = 19.5 [17.6, 21.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.339 [0.204, 0.577] g/100g ; Selenium = 10.5 [5.3, 20.2] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 47.6 [14.1, 156.0] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.644 [0.451, 0.914] mg/100g (wet weight);
