Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 21.1 - 28.3, mean 26.6 °C (based on 974 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 1.0000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00924 - 0.01363), b=3.06 (3.01 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.2 se; based on diet studies.
Generation time: 1.2 (1.0 - 1.4) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 16 growth studies.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.70-1.80).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 223 [91, 694] mg/100g; Iron = 0.874 [0.382, 2.690] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [16.5, 20.9] %; Omega3 = 0.323 [0.154, 0.725] g/100g; Selenium = 54.9 [20.4, 162.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.7 [2.8, 49.6] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.11 [0.63, 2.73] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
