Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Fonte Biblio. 123201): 10.3 - 27.5, mean 24.3 °C (based on 228 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5312   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.00954 - 0.05253), b=2.93 (2.72 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278):  3.9   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100). 🛈
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 37.6 [16.4, 86.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.654 [0.347, 1.179] mg/100g; Protein = 19.6 [18.4, 20.8] %; Omega3 = 0.21 [0.12, 0.39] g/100g; Selenium = 22.3 [10.2, 45.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 26.2 [6.4, 111.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.658 [0.410, 1.015] mg/100g (wet weight);
