Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.6 - 29.2, mean 28.5 °C (based on 2132 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00851 (0.00528 - 0.01373), b=3.03 (2.89 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 5.5 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (40 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 289 [65, 699] mg/100g; Iron = 0.988 [0.396, 2.560] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 20] %; Omega3 = 0.104 [0.046, 0.211] g/100g; Selenium = 39.5 [18.1, 86.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 16.4 [5.2, 51.5] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.47 [0.68, 2.96] mg/100g (wet weight);
