Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.3 - 27.9, mean 26.3 °C (based on 158 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00311 - 0.01538), b=3.06 (2.88 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.4 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 = 397 [235, 787] mg/100g; Iron = 1.57 [0.95, 2.65] mg/100g; Protein = 17.2 [14.9, 19.0] %; Omega3 = 0.192 [0.101, 0.362] g/100g; Selenium = 51.2 [24.6, 106.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 32.9 [11.3, 90.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.93 [1.34, 2.73] mg/100g (wet weight);
