Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 115969): 18.1 - 26.6, mean 24.2 °C (based on 156 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00551 - 0.03009), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 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.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 213 [96, 412] mg/100g ; Iron = 1.23 [0.68, 2.66] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.9 [16.6, 19.1] % ; Omega3 = 0.333 [0.144, 0.795] g/100g ; Selenium = 22.7 [7.3, 61.3] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 91.7 [21.6, 371.3] μg/100g ; Zinc = 2.12 [1.29, 3.47] mg/100g (wet weight);
