Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 18 - 25.6, mean 24 °C (based on 46 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5156   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00555 - 0.03435), b=3.06 (2.85 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 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 (44 of 100).
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649):  High to very high vulnerability (69 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Very high.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 85 [43, 201] mg/100g; Iron = 1.2 [0.7, 2.2] mg/100g; Protein = 18.5 [15.9, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.205 [0.114, 0.367] g/100g; Selenium = 70.2 [30.9, 149.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 18.1 [4.9, 70.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.91 [0.59, 1.38] mg/100g (wet weight);
