Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19.7 - 27.4, mean 24.2 °C (based on 109 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00456 - 0.02002), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 47.4 [28.2, 76.8] mg/100g; Iron = 0.579 [0.343, 1.036] mg/100g; Protein = 18.4 [15.6, 20.6] %; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.114, 0.263] g/100g; Selenium = 42.2 [25.6, 71.4] μg/100g; VitaminA = 109 [34, 391] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.31 [0.92, 2.01] mg/100g (wet weight);
