Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 15.2 - 26.9, mean 22.1 °C (based on 168 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5078 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02570 (0.01232 - 0.05364), b=2.94 (2.77 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (25 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Medium.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 40.3 [17.7, 86.1] mg/100g; Iron = 0.657 [0.340, 1.532] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [16.0, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.129 [0.063, 0.262] g/100g; Selenium = 45.4 [21.8, 101.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 79.6 [21.5, 293.3] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.919 [0.604, 1.385] mg/100g (wet weight);
