Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 22.5 - 29.1, mean 27 °C (based on 213 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00333 - 0.01504), b=3.09 (2.92 - 3.26), 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): 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 = 213 [92, 457] mg/100g; Iron = 0.954 [0.475, 1.897] mg/100g; Protein = 17.8 [15.8, 19.6] %; Omega3 = 0.0981 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 22.7 [9.6, 55.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 145 [38, 534] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.56 [1.61, 3.92] mg/100g (wet weight);
