Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 10.5 - 27.7, mean 24.1 °C (based on 832 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00195 - 0.00776), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 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 = 124 [53, 311] mg/100g; Iron = 0.96 [0.48, 1.95] mg/100g; Protein = 17.5 [15.8, 19.2] %; Omega3 = 0.279 [0.125, 0.593] g/100g; Selenium = 23.4 [9.1, 56.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 48 [11, 206] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.08 [0.67, 1.76] mg/100g (wet weight);
