Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24.7 - 29.3, mean 28.2 °C (based on 3017 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [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):  2.9   ±0.25 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 = 155 [81, 326] mg/100g; Iron = 0.957 [0.493, 1.771] mg/100g; Protein = 18.3 [16.3, 20.0] %; Omega3 = 0.149 [0.068, 0.267] g/100g; Selenium = 22.6 [12.0, 45.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 125 [35, 405] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.34 [1.55, 3.48] mg/100g (wet weight);
