Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.7 - 29, mean 27.4 °C (based on 54 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00977 (0.00470 - 0.02030), b=3.07 (2.89 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.3 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 79.4 [47.1, 153.0] mg/100g; Iron = 0.685 [0.384, 1.284] mg/100g; Protein = 18.8 [15.9, 21.0] %; Omega3 = 0.175 [0.106, 0.285] g/100g; Selenium = 22.5 [11.9, 44.7] μg/100g; VitaminA = 168 [48, 688] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.45 [0.94, 2.26] mg/100g (wet weight);
