Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.6 - 28.3, mean 24.7 °C (based on 62 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5010   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01096 (0.00846 - 0.01421), b=3.10 (3.06 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (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 = 244 [128, 482] mg/100g; Iron = 1.34 [0.70, 2.35] mg/100g; Protein = 18.6 [16.7, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.258 [0.141, 0.462] g/100g; Selenium = 43.6 [24.2, 83.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 19.4 [6.1, 48.9] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.86 [1.28, 2.61] mg/100g (wet weight);
