Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.5 - 29.1, mean 27.6 °C (based on 151 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01047 (0.00502 - 0.02185), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.2 ±0.73 se; based on food items.

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).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 87.9 [48.3, 159.7] mg/100g ; Iron = 0.72 [0.41, 1.26] mg/100g ; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.7] % ; Omega3 = 0.275 [0.157, 0.459] g/100g ; Selenium = 74.6 [35.1, 140.4] μg/100g ; VitaminA = 38.8 [13.6, 135.5] μg/100g ; Zinc = 0.781 [0.515, 1.208] mg/100g (wet weight);
