Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.9 - 29, mean 28.2 °C (based on 358 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):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 81.2 [42.3, 159.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.673 [0.340, 1.195] mg/100g; Protein = 18.7 [16.7, 20.3] %; Omega3 = 0.146 [0.069, 0.252] g/100g; Selenium = 21.7 [11.9, 46.2] μg/100g; VitaminA = 115 [31, 362] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.01 [1.40, 2.90] mg/100g (wet weight);
