Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 23.8 - 28, mean 26.7 °C (based on 332 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00477 - 0.02194), b=3.02 (2.84 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.50 se; based on food items.
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 = 226 [103, 561] mg/100g; Iron = 1.27 [0.60, 2.50] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.2, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.199 [0.076, 0.444] g/100g; Selenium = 35.9 [14.2, 83.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 126 [33, 454] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.83 [1.74, 4.41] mg/100g (wet weight);
