Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 29.2, mean 28 °C (based on 2524 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5005 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00469 - 0.02234), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 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 vulnerability (10 of 100).

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 612 [276, 1,282] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.49 [0.79, 2.90] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.8 [16.0, 19.4] % ; Omega3 = 0.321 [0.146, 0.621] g/100g ; Selenium = 40.8 [17.8, 90.5] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 36.8 [10.7, 110.1] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.05 [1.25, 3.34] mg/100g (wet weight);
