Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 22.3 - 29.1, mean 26.4 °C (based on 210 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00420 - 0.01370), b=3.08 (2.92 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±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 = 265 [117, 609] mg/100g; Iron = 1.09 [0.53, 2.24] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [15.9, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.0867 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 20.1 [7.7, 51.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 131 [31, 501] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.97 [1.81, 4.71] mg/100g (wet weight);
