Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 24.5 - 29, mean 27.5 °C (based on 294 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02089 (0.00974 - 0.04480), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  2.0   ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Generation time: 2.6 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (tm=4; K=0.428; tmax=25).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (33 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 37.1 [21.6, 74.3] mg/100g; Iron = 0.587 [0.284, 1.028] mg/100g; Protein = 19 [18, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.138 [0.084, 0.262] g/100g; Selenium = 40.8 [20.9, 80.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 36.2 [10.4, 119.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.59 [1.07, 2.32] mg/100g (wet weight);
